Some people might say that the school must concentrate on their own research, not investing on social activities to attract students. But I think the school including college to university should invest their budgets on social activities. There are two reasons. The first one is today’s society atmosphere, and another one is the virtue of ‘synergy’. First of all, today’s society is full of competitions. This competitions include th e competition between universities and colleges, also companies. In other words, without investment, some schools might be fell behind. That means ‘setback’ in capitalism society. Suppose that you are the principal of the minor university which want to survive between several magnificent university. Would it be possible to attract brilliant students without any social interactions? Would competent students only consider the quality of research from the minor, small university? The answer might be ‘No’. There is a direct example. I can remember the moment when I should decide what kind of university to enter. I had two choices. SNU was known for not only its research program, but also investment and sponsorship with SAMSUNG. HYUNDAI and so on. HYU was famous due to their globalization level, but notorious for its almost zero investment on society. People around me said that I should never enter to that university. After finding school level and information from various newspapers, I decided to enter to SNU, and I have taken many benefits due to its investment. On top of that, society and students can be improved due to the investment. And this consequence can attract so many useful students. That is, if the research projects conducted by many universities are combined with big companies, and furthermore, many universities invest their budget to co-research with companies, It Is beneficial to not only the university, but also the students and the society. Students can take a chance to conduct very interesting and helpful research in a more reasonable, effective environment such as SAMSUNG lab. By co-investment and co-research, society can be more better world to live in. This idea can be assured by the statistic article. Korea Times published the article which contained the contents that 86% of high school students consider the effect of cooperation with school and company as the second priority when they decide the college or university. This means that school’s investment to social activity is critical to gathering high-grade students. To sum up, because of this reasons, the school should never hesitate the investment to social phenomenon. Even though there are negative factors such as school’s obsession with raising funding by using social group, or deceiving students by only its investment, the advantages raised by investment overshadow the negative factors. The best way to attract students who all the schools want is to invest all kinds of resources to outside the school. |
