The Korea University Social Service Organization (KUSSO) will be hosting the Second Creative Social Service Contest. The contest is intended to encourage friendly competition between participants to raise awareness on the available social services that civilians can engage in. Applicants are to submit a written report on the social service program that they plan to carry out, including details such as expected results, program introduction, and program objectives. The subject matter of the program is unlimited. KUSSO will receive applications until May 8, 2014, select the most qualified and appropriate programs, and provide respective applicants with at most three million won to carry out their programs.

Meanwhile, all individuals related to Korea University (KU), including professors, administrative employees, and students are eligible for application, either as a team or individual. The selected applicants will be required to submit an ending report on their activities detailing how the program was implemented and what results it yielded.

Gwak Geun Young (’13, Business) expressed his opinions about the event, “I think that it is great to have a chance to use our abilities for a greater good. Social service is definitely something I would be interested in using my knowledge and creativity for.”
