[JSRC 학생기자] Discussing True Communication in a Global, 2016 World

August 3 was a special day for many students studying abroad. Projected and hosted by Tae Young Woo, a student at New York University, an event named “Discussing True Communication in a Global, 2016 World” was held at Micimpact in Korea at 7 PM.

The event featured lectures for college students from three special guests: Jongcheol Oh, a SBS comedian and CEO of JammyWorks
co.; Kyuchang Lee, producer of the Korean War film “Operation Chromite”; and Tyler Rasch, a cast member in the talk-variety shows “Non-Summit.” The lecturers addressed about identity and relationships by telling their own stories about their college or social lives. Afterwards, the event moved on to an introduction of a company Onoffmix and a special music performance by Greg Priester, a cast singer in TV programs “Hidden Singer,” “Superstar K,” “National Singing Contest,” and etc., and Colin Shin, a student at Berklee College of Music.

The event brought college students together, whether they are incoming freshmen or current students, and provided an opportunity for them to hear stories about critical lessons for college or even beyond. Heejin Kang, a staff of the event, said, “I was so honored to be invited and also was happy that I could be a help. The lectures inspired me a lot. I looked back on my network with people and reflected about how my network was closed. I was very happy to get to know different people from different areas.”

Tae Young Woo the host of the event, who has always been eager to reach out to many people and to spread a willingness to invest in genuine relationships, is glad the event was over successfully. While he is leaving special thanking messages to all those who came and made the event possible, all attendees are grateful for such a worthwhile experience to discuss and get advice for adjusting to a new environment as a college student.
