SUNY Korea FIT's New Student Interview with Naeil Education New Freshman student at SUNY Korea FIT’s Fashion Business Management Department featured on Naeil Education “I want to broaden my understanding of humanity through Fashion Business Management, a field where Design and Business Management merge.” Conflicts can occur among high school students attending boarding schools. How great it would be if everyone had good listeners around to talk about our difficulties together. Yewon Maeng chose “Peacemakers Academy” as the most memorable extracurricular activity that she participated in as a high school student. As the co-leader of the club, she was able to mature as a person through various counseling sessions she offered to other students. Through this experience, she became passionate about studying Fashion Business Management, a field that moves people, and Art, her favorite subject. Studying Abroad in America with a passion in English studies Yewon asked her parents if she could study abroad after completing the first semester of 8th grade. However, her parents disagreed because Yewon’s two older sisters were already abroad and did not want Yewon to leave either. “I wanted to go study in America not because my sisters were there, but because I truly wanted to study English in an environment that would help me to practice and improve my English skills the most,” she remembers. “But it was really difficult the first year there.” She attended a private middle school in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania where her sister attended college. Upon her sister’s college graduation, they both returned to Korea. Yewon decided to study at an international school named Branksome Hall Asia to continue her studies. “Having to participate in the IB curriculum every year seemed daunting at first, but I eventually decided that Branksome would be the best school for me because it specializes in the Arts,” Yewon states. Striving to make the world a better place through empathy Yewon showed great talent in subjects that required creative problem-solving skills. Her favorite subjects were Visual Arts and Design Technology. During the Visual Arts class, she criticized the amount of plastic that artists used to produce their artwork; in the Design Technology class, she created a hiking stick that was created to ergonomically fit the hands of people with finger arthritis. As for her extracurricular activities, she chose Peacemakers Academy as the most meaningful one. She worked as a listener and empathized with other students who had conflicts with others in this psychological counseling program. “Many people say maintaining a relationship with others is one of the most difficult things in life. Students in their teenage years go through many problems, especially when they have to live with each other in a dormitory. But many of them were able to solve their issues and mature as human beings through the counseling sessions offered at Peacemakers. Learning about others can help students go through not only high school and college life, but also the real world. I discovered a way to better cope with my stress because I learned how to attack problems objectively through listening to their problems,” said Yewon. She began to show interest in Management when she noticed the warmth and respect between people. She found hope that she could create a better world through Business Management, where she will learn how to lead others to reach a single goal while respecting each individual and their strengths. Positive sign from the SUNY Korea Admissions Office Yewon’s ultimate goal is to launch her own jewelry business. FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) is one of the leading art schools in the US, and therefore is highly popular among students who wish to study Fashion. In particular, FIT’s Fashion Business Management, the major Yewon was accepted to, is the world’s most recognizable program and is also one of FIT’s oldest and largest majors offered at FIT. “FIT has always been my first choice. My school held an online college fair and I hurried into the FIT meeting room. I think the Admissions Officers saw my passion for FIT after asking several questions about the school,” Yewon added. Shortly after the meeting, Yewon received a box of school merchandise from the Admissions Office. In the box was also a letter stating her presence at the fair was memorable. She thought this was a positive sign for her admissions to FIT and became more desperate for her acceptance letter. 2 Years in Korea and 2 Years in New York After the talk with the admissions office, Yewon dedicated her time into studies that she felt she needed to improve on. She was able to show steady improvement in her Business class, completing the course with an exceptional grade. Although it is not required to submit a portfolio for Fashion Business Management applicants, she submitted one to show her passion for art and creativity through her artwork. She was also advised to improve her math scores. In her Math: Applications and Interpretation class, she received a mathematical award for her great improvement. “Although I received the award after my acceptance and scholarship offer to FIT, it gave me confidence to do well in the future at FIT,” she stated. Students from international schools usually apply to colleges all over the world, especially to the ones in the US, England, Canada, and Australia. However, Yewon chose to apply only to schools in Korea. “Most of my friends from Branksome Hall Asia are all over the world now attending colleges, and I was considered a special case. But I thought it would be best for me to stay in Korea until the COVID-19 pandemic settles down. I also think it would be advantageous to study here at SUNY Korea FIT for 2 years since it offers the same education as the FIT New York Campus. After I finish my Associate Degree here in Korea, I plan to spend 2 years at FIT NY to complete my Bachelor’s there. Although I do want to experience working in the fashion industry in America, I ultimately want to launch my own brand in Korea, so I don’t want to lose my Korean identity,” Yewon explained. Hoping for a college life free from COVID-19 Yewon started her college life this September 2021 as a freshman at FIT. Already loaded with assignments, FIT has kept her busy since the school puts much focus on practical education. “Students at FIT are as diverse as the students I met in my secondary international school. Students are graduates from foreign high schools in Seoul, some are from the US, Canada, and Philippines. Some transfer students were even from other worldly recognized fashion schools such as the Parsons School of Design. I joined The Merchandising Society Club and I hope to enjoy my college experience once the pandemic is gone,” Yewon hopes. She also looks forward to the day when she could return to her pre-COVID-19 daily life. By the time she studies at the FIT New York Campus in two years, she dreams of living a busy life to keep up with the trends in the fashion industry while actively participating in various activities.

New Freshman student at SUNY Korea’s Computer Science Department featu… New Freshman student at SUNY Korea’s Computer Science Department featured on Naeil Education “Yearning for a more systematic curriculum after years of teaching myself, I found SUNY Korea to guide my Computer Science studies” Kyung Kook Lee’s family had set his life for him: he would win the Korean Mathematical Olympiad in elementary school, attend a Science High School for the Talented, and enter the medical field to become a pharmacist. However, he fell in love with computer language from a young age and taught himself how to code for years. Although disappointed at first, his parents eventually decided it would be best for Kyung Kook to decide the field of study himself. As he continued with self-learning, he felt a great desire to officially learn computer science. He achieved his dream of wanting to study at an American university by entering the Stony Brook University (SBU) in SUNY Korea in September this year. A fifth-grade kid who fell in love with coding after teaching himself Because of the parents’ ambitious goals for the son, Kyung Kook had always returned home after 10PM everyday after Korean, English, math, science, violin, piano, and flute classes that he attended after school. He asked his mom to minimize these classes, which gave him more time to explore some of the computer languages, such as C-language, Java, and Python. “I became curious about the principles of score calculation while playing online games. I began to question the algorithm when I scored differently when punching with a fist and using a weapon,” he states. Kyung Kook was only allowed enroll himself in online classes and study groups because of his parents’ opposition for him to officially study computer science. However, this did not stop him as he continued studying computer science to deepen his knowledge. Parents who wished their son to enter the medical field vs A kid who wishes to study computer science Kyung Kook is a graduate from Songdo High School, a high school that highly emphasizes the study of the sciences. Although he was not part of the science-focus class, he was in a creative convergence class that puts math and science in the center of learning. From a young age, he was expected to inherit the pharmacy that his grandmother had been operating. He focused on studying math, chemistry, and life science to fulfill the expectations of his family members, but was not able to satisfy them with his relatively low grades for pharmacy school. No other subject was interesting to him as computer science. “I finally got permission to major in computer science as a senior in high school. So, I did not even apply to other Korean schools because my only goal was to attend SUNY Korea,” he remembers. “I believe SBU, SUNY Korea is the place where I can learn computer science best, and the Department of Computer Science will be a stepping stone to grow big in the future at the global level” The path to study and work in the United States Until the recent global pandemic, the original plan for Kyung Kook was to physically go study abroad in America, the center of IT industry. However, he thought it was better to stay in Korea for it offers the equivalent education as the home campus in New York and gives him the opportunity to study at the Stony Brook New York Campus for 2 semesters. Noting that graduates from SUNY Korea have received job offers from America in corporates such as Google and Amazon, and have gone to pursue further education by studying at prestigious graduate schools such as UC Berkeley and Columbia University, he decided SBU SUNY Korea would be the best choice for him. Reading about these alumni have given Kyung Kook a positive outlook to studying at SUNY Korea. He also found SUNY Korea advantageous over other universities for undergraduates also have the opportunity research with graduate students as well as receive education from professors who have served as Microsoft’s software engineer for over a decade, Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology’s analyst for natural language and medical images, and Apple’s software developer. An opportunity to pursue higher education Because SUNY Korea reviews all documents holistically, Kyung Kook took this to his advantage. He states there wasn’t much extracurricular activities documented in his school records because the records primarily focus on activities that are centered around projects hosted by the school. Because Kyung Kook taught himself how to code, created his own computer coding club, and participated in drone competitions outside of school, none of these were recorded. However, he was able to freely discuss these activities in his personal essay in the SUNY Korea application. He also took the time to take an English proficiency test after the College Scholastic Ability Test and asked for a letter of recommendation from the teacher who knew him best. He took SUNY Korea’s holistically review process as an opportunity to show his passion towards computer science. As Kyung Kook begins his undergrad studies as a Computer Science major this fall, he hopes to receive education from a well-established curriculum from a prestigious research university, Stony Brook University at SUNY Korea.
