Gyeongsang National University (GNU; President Kwon Jin-hoe) is expanding exchanges in students, culture, and advanced education with Taiwan's Chinese Culture University to boost international student recruitment and pursue mutual development. From May 7 to 8, GNU successfully hosted a variety of exchange events by inviting a delegation of faculty, staff, and students from Chinese Culture University.

According to the Office of Student Affairs at Gyeongsang National University (Dean Ha Jae-pil), this event was arranged as part of the friendly exchange activities continued since GNU and Chinese Culture University signed an academic and student exchange agreement in 2011. In particular, as a follow-up invitation to visits by GNU student leaders to Chinese Culture University under the Office of Student Affairs' 'Student Leader Global Program' in 2024 and 2025, it served as an opportunity to reaffirm the strong trust and sustainable cooperative relationship between the two universities.

On the afternoon of the 7th, the first day, a welcome meeting was held in the conference room on the 6th floor of the Central Library at the Gajwa Campus. The 32-member delegation from Chinese Culture University—including Dean of Student Affairs Lee I-chun, four faculty and staff, and 28 students—attended, and from Gyeongsang National University, Dean of Student Affairs Ha Jae-pil and other university officials participated. Participants shared information on the university's current status and promotional videos and actively exchanged views on topics such as student government and club activities and student counseling. After the meeting, the delegation conducted a campus tour of the outdoor performance venue, the Sports Complex, and the museum, experiencing GNU's excellent educational environment firsthand.

Then, in the small theater of the Student Union, a meaningful cultural exchange event between the student self-governing bodies of the two universities took place. Oh Se-beom, president of the 6th Saebyeok General Student Council at Gyeongsang National University, and Kim Jun-eon, president of the ALL:IN General Club Association, gave detailed introductions to the status and activities of their respective organizations. In addition, a special 20-minute cultural performance prepared by students from the central club 'Baby Strings' was held, sharing warm friendship and a welcoming spirit among students across borders.

On the second day, the 8th, the advanced education infrastructure of Gyeongsang National University was introduced at the cleanroom of the Department of Semiconductor Engineering, College of IT Engineering, and with the cooperation of Jinju City, the group toured the region's symbolic landmark, the K-Entrepreneurship Center, concluding the one-night, two-day program.

Ha Jae-pil, Dean of Student Affairs at Gyeongsang National University, said, "This visit served as an opportunity for members of both universities to deepen their understanding of one another and to solidify our global network," adding, "We will continue to work to invigorate international student recruitment and achieve mutual development based on ongoing exchanges."
