-26% of enrolled students joined the donation campaign.
-The contribution was more than 15,000,000 won ($15,000) and was used for purchasing books in major fields.

1,032 students from Handong Global University participated in the Loving the School Donation Campaign. The ‘Handong Angel Campaign’ is a donation campaign for enrolled students and the participants donate at least 1,000 won ($1) to school regularly. This campaign’s motto is ‘to practice love toward the School as a Handong Angel by connecting today and tomorrow to Handong.’

This campaign was initiated in the first half year of 2014 with 1,004 participants. As of today, there are 1,032 participants or 26% of the student body. Among them, there were 554 participants from the School of Global Leadership.

The contribution was more than 15,000,000 won ($15,000). The funds were used to purchase books for different majors. This year marks the second year of the campaign promoted by the International Affairs Team of HGU and the School of Global Leadership.

Last year, the staff of the International Affairs Team of HGU along with students, promoted a street campaign with a flash mob, an introduction during a team meeting, and a cup holder event. Through various promotional activities, the group stimulated students’ participation. This year campaign activities were promoted through advertisements and posters. Through these activities, the number of sponsors has increased sixty percent within one year. Last January there were 620.

Ms. Dahye Ham, the 1004th Handong Angel said, “I promoted this activity because I heard that with just one dollar I could contribute to my school. I was informed that the accumulated contribution last year allowed our school to purchase some books. I thought that our contribution was used well.”

This campaign will continue next year. The campaign will be connected with ‘Handongmoon’ (the alumni of Handong that will open the door to a bright future) Campaign so it is expected that many alumni will join this initiative.

The leader of the campaign, Shinkyun Kim said, “The donation campaign itself is very unique. The 26% participation shows how much the students love and are proud of Handong. The amount would be very small but regular sponsorship every month will build a donation habit. Our motto is to share what we have learned and this is a practical way to share!”
