To thoroughly implement the fundamental mission of fostering virtue and cultivating talent in colleges and universities in the new era and to continually strengthen the professional competence and international perspective of student affairs personnel, a 15-member delegation from WHSU's student affairs workforce traveled to Hanyang University's ERICA Campus in South Korea from January 22 to 31 for a ten-day specialized capacity-building training program. Centered on cutting-edge developments in sports, the program aimed to cultivate a more professionally capable core student affairs team through substantive academic exchange and on-site visits.
During the program, participants conducted in-depth study of core topics covering sports industry development trends, modern sports management theory and practice, and psychological intervention strategies in sport, and undertook a visit to the Korea Paralympic Village. Building on both classroom instruction and their own professional experience, they engaged in face-to-face exchanges with experts and scholars on student management and services, one-stop community development, student career development and employment guidance, and international exchange.
The training program represents an important initiative in WHSU's push to develop its student management and services work in a more professional and internationally oriented direction. Participants expressed their commitment to fully absorbing the program's content and converting the advanced concepts, scientific knowledge, and innovative thinking into new approaches and working methods, with the aim of becoming outstanding mentors and guides along students' path of growth and achievement and contributing more effectively to the cultivation of well-rounded new-era sports talent with moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education qualities and the competitive edge to succeed internationally.
