Fifteen members of the 12th class of Student Ambassadors, selected to enhance the university’s image, received appointment certificates and began a one-year term of activities.

The university held a completion ceremony for the 11th Student Ambassadors and an appointment ceremony for the 12th Student Ambassadors on February 29 at 4:00 PM.

At the event, completion certificates were awarded to 15 students, including Jeong Yu-jin (3rd year, Department of Philosophy), who had worked to enhance the university’s image throughout 2011. Appointment certificates were presented to 15 newly appointed ambassadors, including Lee Hyo-gyu (3rd year, Department of Animal Science), who will begin their one-year term on March 2.

Student Ambassadors will carry out various activities to enhance the university’s external image, including supporting events held at the university, admissions promotion, conducting campus tours for visitors, organizing planned events, and online promotion for Jeonbuk National University (JBNU).

Lee Hyo-gyu, representative of the 12th Student Ambassadors, said, "Wearing the ambassador uniform for the first time today and receiving the appointment certificate gives me a greater sense of mission and responsibility," adding, "For one year, I will strive to publicize the university's positive images externally to help strengthen its competitiveness."

President Seo Geoseok said, "Student Ambassadors have played a major role in enhancing the university’s internal and external image," and added, "I hope you will do your best in your assigned roles in each area and make every effort to publicize the university, which is advancing toward a top national standing."
