Graduates spent a meaningful time with the students who dream of becoming government officers serving our country. On March 24th in #215 of Social Science Hall, senior government officers who graduated from Dankook visited students and offered advice about preparing for the National Exam.

About 70 students preparing for national examinations like the National Civil Service Exam, Foreign Service Exam, and CPA exam participated in the event, which gave them the opportunity to reevaluate their dreams and to gain vital information on exam preparation through group conversation with graduates for about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

“I was intimidated by the thought of ‘can I really do it?’ but I gained confidence and desire to accomplish my goals from the practical advice of the graduates,” said attendee Tae Rim Lee (senior, Political Science & International Relations). “I will do my best to succeed so I can later share the advice I received with students in the future.”
“I hope this event helps students prepare for National Examinations,” said Hae Nam Moon, Head of the Civil Service Examination Union. “This event was prepared so Dankook students can inherit the traditions of successful graduates.” He also said he is planning to support students by holding similar events regularly.
