INHA University carried out the "Briquette of Love Sharing Volunteer Activity" on the 14th.

This volunteer activity, now in its 8th year with sponsorship from the Korean Air Social Volunteer Group, was joined by about 150 people, including students, President Cho Myoung-woo, and faculty and staff members.

The volunteer activity was part of the “One Degree Warmer Korea: Briquette of Love Sharing” campaign to help neighbors stay warm during the winter. Volunteers visited a village in Hakik-dong, Michuhol-gu, and personally delivered more than 3,000 briquettes to about 20 neighboring households.

By directly practicing acts of goodwill within the community, students are able to grow into individuals who go beyond learning to put sharing into action, spreading positive influence throughout the local community.

Our university continues to carry out various community contribution activities centered around Inharang, INHA University Student Volunteer Group.

A representative example is the mentoring program conducted each semester for local high school students. Inharang students provide college entrance information and offer career exploration mentoring that helps high school students gain opportunities to explore future paths.

President Cho Myoung-woo said, “Volunteer work is not only Inha University’s founding spirit but also a fundamental value of education. I hope that through this activity, students will experience the meaning of sharing and continue the Inha spirit of growing together with the local community,” adding, “We will continue to fulfill our role as a university that ‘benefits the world through learning and service’ through various community engagement activities alongside our region.”
