- SKKU in THE’s Top 25 Universities over 400 Years Old
- To mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, Times Higher Education recently ranked the top 25 universities over 400 to determine the best ancient institutions. Sungkyunkwan University has been ranked 19th, becoming the only Korean institution included in the ranking. Data and Analytics Director at THE, Duncan Ross, said that the list shows, “The origin of our modern university systems as they move away from the religious training institutions they were, into something that was starting to become more recognizable.” “Despite all the evidence that points to Shakespeare being from the English Midlands, the conspiracy theories regarding who he might have been or where he may have been from refuse to die away. So, we thought it would be fun to look at the universities that a more educated Shakespeare might have attended,” said Director Ross. Meanwhile, SKKU has ranked 16th in Asia (2015 Times Higher Education) claiming the first place of all comprehensive private universities in Korea for the second consecutive year. The results of the ranking are calculated based on scores from thirteen indexes including university-industry collaboration, education, research paper citations, research capability, internationalization, etc.

- Practical Leadership by Prof. Lee Jung Hoon
- Going inside the classes: 'Practical Leadership' One of the requirements for graduation is taking a course from the Leadership Category where ‘Theoretical Leadership’ and ‘Practical Leadership’ are included in it. ‘Practical Leadership’ enhances your understanding of the leadership and gives you a chance to actually practice it. Depending on major of the Professor, what you learn in the course might differ a little bit. For Prof. Lee, Jung Hoon’s Practical Leadership course, which I will be introducing today, he focuses on the leadership regarding business administration, his major. Now, let’s take a look into Prof. Lee’s Practical Leadership course. What do you do in Class? In Prof. Lee’s course, textbooks are not required. Instead, before you go to class, you should go to icampus and print out the course plan which is uploaded every week. This one-semester course is divided into two parts by the mid-term exam. Before the mid-term, we study the definition of leadership and traits of leaders. Around 2nd or 3rd week, the professor asks you to choose a leader who could be your role model and then to read a book about the person. This is related to not only the one-minute speech which you will be doing later about a role model, but also the assignment after the mid-term, so be prepared. After the mid-term, you will learn what leaders do and what different types of leaderships are. Meanwhile, preparation for the team presentation, which will take place a week before the final, will start. The first class is done like it is always done. But at the second class, the Professor will give students time for preparation for team presentation. So use that time wisely. At every class the professor gives out a questionnaire, and it gives you time to ponder about yourself and what type of leadership that suits you. Before starting the second class, you will always watch a short five-minute long video which is mostly about a leader or leadership taken from famous movies. This makes the beginning of the class more interesting. How is grading done? The grade is evaluated by the mid-term, the final, personal assignment and team presentation. Considering that the professor tells students to attend the classes even if you are late, it seems that the attendance is quite important despite the fact it only comprises of a small part of the total grade. The mid-term and the finals consists of multiple choice and short answer questions. Most of them are from the course plan but some of them are not. However, you do not have to worry about it since even the questions that are not from the course plan are all mentioned by the professor during the class, making it not so difficult to figure out. The personal assignment is, as it is already mentioned above, about the role model that you have chosen. It is reading a book about the role model’s life or leadership and writing an essay that combines the role model and what you have learned about the leadership theory. After the mid-term comes the assignment, but because the due date is far away, you won’t feel much pressured. The team presentation which will take place a week before the mid-term is to elect a leader from your own group and do a presentation about the leader in relation to the things you’ve learned about leadership in the course. Instead of setting another time to meet, it would be less of the burden to utilize the time given at the second class for preparing the team presentation. The evaluation for the team presentation is conducted by both professor and students. After listening to presentations, students give score to other teams on team presentation evaluation paper. The result will be announced on the notice board at icampus after the finals. What are the Pros and Cons? The good thing about the course is that it is not much of a burden. As it is mentioned above, in cases of both personal assignment and team presentation, the professor cares for students. So it would not be so stressful for students. It would almost certainly not overlap with other courses’ assignments and presentation, and even if it does, it wouldn’t be so hard to complete. The questionnaire given at every class is especially helpful. The content of the questionnaire is simple, but if you answer the questions earnestly, you will comprehend your own traits and find the right type of leadership for you. The downside is that it is a 9 a.m. class, so it is painful for students who can’t wake up early. But even with that, there aren’t that many people late or absent. So you will have to be an early bird and not be absent. Tips for students! The mid-term covers a narrow range. Therefore, when preparing for the mid-term, you have to memorize everything from the range. It is because since the range is so narrow, the questions are from almost every part. Especially to answer the short-answer questions, you have to know everything thoroughly. On the other hand, the finals cover a wide range. So you will have to study for the final in advance. Because it covers a wider range than the mid-term, questions do not go into detailed as the mid-term, but it is always good to study thoroughly to answer the short-answer questions. And in team presentation, the leader will be given extra one point, so take it into account.

- President Chung's New Year's Address
- Respectfully to all in Sungkyunkwan University, With the duty of the 20th presidency, call upon by all to undertake, has stoled its first year by and is gone, we are now greeting the new year of 2016, 丙申年(Byungshin Nyun), with great anticipation and hope. This year is called the year of the red monkey where it is said that the elements of yang, fire and the color red culminate and enables all things to be executed with a forward-looking and proactive outcome. As we enter such a vibrant new year, I sincerely wish for all in Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) to have all their endearing goals and hopes bear fruit for this year. As the university celebrates its 618th anniversary in the new year, SKKU is ceaselessly creating values derived from ‘the new value of the old’, by bringing together in harmony, tradition and cutting-edge field of studies, and, with the active support by our foundation, Samsung Corporation, we continue to proceed with pioneering and outstanding university innovation. Through these efforts, SW Centered University Support Program, Grand ICT Research Center Program, Self-Curing Environmental Concrete Research Center and more, have been selected as major government projects last year. Especially with the Brain Korea 21+ Project (BK21+) which is the core foundation for graduate school education and a research centered university, we have procured an outstanding 31 projects. Also we have repeatedly demonstrated unprecedented and spectacular achievements like becoming the NO. 1 private university in Korea at the Joong-Ang Daily University Rankings for the 3rd consecutive year, marking NO. 1. on the National Consumer Satisfaction Index (NCSI) for the 9th consecutive year, and completing the construction of the N Center, the world’s top level basic science research facility, and more. In addition, we have risen the ranks in the QS World Rankings to 118, while demonstrating to be the finest private university in Korea according to ‘Times Higher Education (THE) World Rankings’ and ‘US News & World Report’s Global Universities Rankings’. This is especially felt by the active willing gestures for international cooperation from the world’s prestigious universities abroad. Such outstanding achievements in the midst of adversity was only made possible by the passionate participation and selfless support of the faculty, administrative staff, the foundation, the students and 210 thousand alumni’s heart warming affection for the university, in order to propel beyond being the best university in Korea to become a truly global leading university. So I would like to take this opportunity to express, from the bottom of my heart, my admiration and gratitude to each and everyone of you. People of SKKU! This year, we also are expecting an acceleration of change in the environment surrounding the university. The threats that we encounter are diverse and complex, such as the heated global competition between universities, the advent of a new education trend based on technological innovation, the growing demand from students and corporations as a comsumer and more. However, these threats in my view are no different from the opportunity that will further propel our university as we take on this new challenge. For those who are prepared there can be no threats but opportunities. One year ago when I was appointed to the presidency, I referred to you a quote from the Analects of Confucius, the chapter of Jaro (子路), “If you truthfully employ me, I will lay the foundations in one year and yield profits in three.“(子曰 苟有用我者, 期月而己可也, 三年有成). With this in mind I have concentrated to solidify the university, in my first year, based on the great legacy laid by my predecessors before me. And now for the next three years, in order to create a truly global leading university, we will be moving forward with the ‘New Challenge Project’ as follows: One, we will strengthen soft-wear(SW) education & fusion learning Two, we will concentrate and strengthen research by establishing ‘Research Troika’ and more Three, we will do our utmost to raise ‘Global Pride’ by expanding ‘Global Alliances’ Four, we will greatly expand industry-university cooperation through the ‘SKKU Enterprise Foundation’ and more Five. we will exalt pride of being the finest university, through ‘Innovation in Management’ and ‘Combined Leadership’ We hope that all of you will actively participate and show your support for our university’s new challenge. The dream that all in SKKU dreams with one heart and one mind, will always come true. Again I’d like to express my gratitude for the dedication and appreciation that all have shown last year, and wish for a year filled with a future that holds great achievements and happiness for all in SKKU. January 11th President of Sungkyunkwan University CHUNG KYU SANG
