In order to become a hub of public service, UOS has set another goal: to have the “university mature together with the community.” UOS has had a department devoted to social contribution since 2012. Hwang Gyeong-min (a worker from this section) said, “UOS held a mentoring service for low-income students from Dongdaemun-gu and Jungnang-gu. Not only students but members of UOS could take part in doing voluntary service. UOS students can become volunteers outside of the city of Seoul as well.
Last spring, some UOS students visited Jindo to do volunteer work for the bereaved families of the Sewol ferry tragedy. Every summer vacation, Students also go abroad to serve.” UOS also runs several community service organizations. UOS runs the Continuous Education Center and the Social Welfare Center. Citizens of Seoul can receive a lifelong education and welfare service through these organizations.
