Ajou's first Brown Bag Meeting is held for the spring semester 2016-03-15 The first Brown Bag Meeting for the spring semester of the 2016 academic year was held at noon on March 15th in Conference Room 1 of Ajou's Yulgok Hall. Eighteen students who were selected based on prior applications talked with President Dong Yeon Kim over sandwiches and beverages for about two hours. Students asked questions about Paran Semester – Ajou's Creative Activity Program, other major programs offered by the University including the new scholarship system, some of the challenges President Kim faced and how he addressed them, and how to read books effectively, etc. President Kim said, "You should prepare for possible challenges when you are in favorable and comfortable times, instead of remaining complacent ," advising, "You can succeed when you throw yourselves into tough situations." He went on to say, "I expect students to experience failures and trials and errors through programs like Paran Semester," adding, "The University will actively support your challenges." He also introduced the University’s programs to help students find jobs and start businesses abroad and asked students to make the most of such programs when they take on challenges. The Brown Bag Meeting with the President will take place during lunch time on the first and third Wednesday of each month. Participants will engage in dialogue on any topics they would like, rather than setting ones in advance. About 20 students will be invited to each Brown Bag Meeting based on prior applications made via the University website. Participants will be selected in the order of their applications, and those who are not chosen will be given priority for the following sessions. ‘Brown Bag Meeting’ means a small number of people talking over lunch, and the term was created because the sandwiches or salads, etc. eaten for lunch usually come in brown bags.
