Sangmyung University’s Newly Reorganized Homepage Intro
By Sol-Hyang Park, Editor-in-chief
The website of Sangmyung University's admissions office has been reorganized under the new concept of "Sangwat."Since the national entrance exam for university ended on November 18th, students who are about to apply for the university through the exam are expected to visit the university's website more frequently. Accordingly, Sangmyung University reorganized the intro page to make it easier and more interesting to access the information they wanted.
New Homepage Reminding Us of Harry Potter
The reorganized intro page is the work of Park Sun-min, a sophomore majoring in animation in the SW Convergence Department of Convergence Engineering. Under the motto of "University that Communicates with Students," the homepage attracts attention by expressing Sangmyung University's various fields of study as game characters which remind us of professors in Hogwarts of Harry Potter.
There are game characters of Hong Sung-tae, the head of the Admissions Department, and other 10 college principals dressed in medieval costumes. The president and the head of the admissions office characters are welcoming students at the center of the page. Furthermore, the principal of Culture and Arts holds a large art brush, and the principal of Education holds a book in one hand and a baton in another hand, just like they are teaching students. If you move your mouse over these characters, the names of each character and the field they are in charge of will be introduced. If you click them, the email will be copied to the clipboard, and you can send questions about entering that department by e-mail and receive answers directly.
Student Park Sun-min, who worked on the illustration of the intro page, said, "I worked hard with the hope that those who visit the website would be interested in our university."
This special intro page will be operated during the recruitment of new students for 2022.
The page is also gaining great popularity and attention on the Internet, and was found in other university communities or SNS, and articles.
It is important for the university to promote the university's awareness and stimulate curiosity in this way. I hope that Sangmyung University will continue to widely promote itself through these creative ways.
