- University is providing student customized support
- The era of “on-demand” has started. Supply is no longer the determinant and demand has become the most important factor. One can notice this change in the university as well. Universities are reflecting the keyword “student success” in their policies to respond to the needs of the students and improve the quality of university education. The term “student success” and relevant programs can be easily found in American universities. Most of the universities are currently running “student success center”. It provides general support for students to be successful in both academics and university life. SKKU was the first Korean university to open Student Success Center. SKKU is the only university that has a physical center to provide student success related support but other Korean universities are also applying the idea to support their students. Sanghoon BAE, the Director of SKKU Student Success Center emphasized that it is necessary for each university to clarify their own definition of “student success”. “They must discover their characteristics by using data. Universities should listen to the comments of companies that have hired the students and search for a proper model and objective for student success. Furthermore, this information should be shared with the administrative offices, departments and professors.” Original article: http://news.unn.net/news/articleView.html?idxno=214921
