The students of Yeungnam University are leaving for oversea volunteer service in order to use the vacation as a period of opportunity to grow as global citizens, not a period to be free from learning. <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_004269083044505756 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=2009-12-21_09-06-58_495.jpg\" target=_blank> Yeungnam University oversea volunteer group leaving to plant life at the Kubuqi Desert of Neimenggu The Kubuqi Desert located in Neimenggu is a source area of yellow dust that heavily covers the sky of Northeast Asia, each spring. In this place where tree shade to avoid the scorching sun of midsummer going up to 40 degrees celsius is nowhere to be found, the Yeungnam University oversea volunteer group will launch into cultivating a forest from July 1st to 15th. Although they cannot plant trees directly because it is not a planting period, there is a lot of work waiting for hands of these people such as watering trees that are already planted, building protective fence around trees, moving the fallen trees, repairing tubular well and taking care of young plants. Besides, Yeungnam University students are planning to play the roles of publicity ambassadors to introduce Korean culture along with services taking efforts such as helping with street cleanup, harvesting field crops like wheat‧corn or teaching Korean to Chinese children while presenting enjoyable time to elders by visiting local asylum for the aged. Choi, Won-Jung (22, School of Economics and Finance, Senior) who is in charge as a team manager of Kubuqi Desert oversea volunteer group said \"Although it would be nice to make up for insufficient studies or prepare for employment during vacation, I think it is more important to mature one\'s character using the opportunity to serve for the human race and concern about the global problems\" and promised that \"although I wouldn\'t be able to communicate well and there will be many inconveniences, I\'ll come back even healthier after serving with enjoyable heart as much as it is an opportunity to contribute for the global people and future as well as my own family and myself.\" Vacation Is Opportunity To Grow As \'Global Citizen\' Yeungnam University, Dispatches 80 Oversea Volunteers to China‧Philippines Although it is clear that they will have a hard time in poor environment, the competitive rate of Yeungnam University oversea volunteer group screening process held in April was 4 to 1. The final successful candidates could be chosen only after in-depth interview because about 320 people had gathered for recruiting 80 volunteers to be dispatched to a total of 4 areas such as Neimenggu and Harbin of China or Batankas and Iloilo of Philippines. While 80 students selected like this had received volunteer service training such as CPR, first-aid treatment, taekwondo lecture and dance lecture from the invited professional instructors since May, they prepared for oversea volunteer service by doing volunteer activities after visiting nearby social welfare facilities directly every Saturday. These students who had launching ceremony at Yeungnam University museum auditorium on June 6 will be departing to their service area in the morning of July 1. The Dean of Office of Student Affairs Ryu, Ho-Sang said that \"I hope the students would be able to gain knowledge and virtue as global citizens through oversea volunteer service\" by saying that \"there are many university students who are not able to have spare time even during vacations due to serious unemployment these days. But it is necessary to build up an insight and experience to see the world with greater perspective during university years and not just concentrated on the credits or English scores that they are faced with. That\'s because 21st century requires a talent that possesses symbiotic rather than competitive mind.\" Continued Deposit of Supporting Goods by Local Enterprises The local enterprises are also giving a hand of support to the oversea volunteer service of Yeungnam University. In the afternoon of 29th, the Gyeongbuk branch of Kogas, Daw Asset Management, Seoheung ENG and Fursys Artist OPC had visited Yeungnam University to deliver stationery including pencils, notebooks, ball point pens and crayons and medical products equivalent to 2,000 US $ in market price asking them to be used for oversea volunteer service activity. In the delivery ceremony of this day, the business support team manager Keum, Kyo-Ha of Kogas Gyeongbuk branch said that \"I\'m very proud of Yeungnam University students who are leaving for volunteer activity to an oversea inland by giving up their vacation\" by saying that \"Most companies consider volunteer work experience as very important factors while hiring new employees these days. That\'s because they believe a person who can serve for others has basic nature of being able to dedicate for the company.\" For this, the dean Ryu, Ho-Sang said that \"Thank you very much for timely support of stationeries that we really need\" by saying \"The San Hernimo village of Iloilo in Philippines among this volunteer activity areas is a region that especially needs a helping hand, According to the report from preliminary visit, most students didn\'t have pencils and notebooks. The primary school for Korean ethnicity where Harbin team of China will perform volunteer activity was also in a difficult situation.\" Meanwhile, Yeungnam University has been dispatching oversea volunteer groups to places like China, Mongolia, Uzbekistan and Southeast Asia since winter vacation of 2001. The Yeungnam University oversea volunteer activity where about 1,400 students participate until this summer vacation is becoming an opportunity for each student to mature in their character while playing a great role in private diplomacy of raising external image of the Republic of Korea as a nation.

According to Yeungnam University on 12th, as a result of CFP(Certified Financial Planner) exam held on 23rd and 24th, there was a splendid achievement that 80% of applicants from financial license preparation class of the School of Business passed the exam. This is the result which is 4.3 times higher than the national average passing rate which is merely 18.7%. ‘CFP’ is the highest level of financial specialist certified by CFP Board of the United States from the intention of contributing to public interest by raising speciality of financial planning. To become a CFP, 4 E\'s that are basic qualification requirements including Ethics, Education, Experience and Exam must be satisfied. Especially, one must acquire AFPK license in advance after receiving a required education from a AFPK(Associate Financial Planner Korea) designated educational facility that could be called \'preliminary preparation process for CFP\'. to pass the exam. Only CFP can provide general financial services to customers. Thus, one must pass many barriers where a lot of time and effort are required in order to become a CFP. Despite this fact, the interest toward CFP is getting greater in a situation where the financial borders between the countries was vanished by the enforcement of the law regarding the Capital Market and Financial Investment Service Act. For instance, CFP is reckoned as a prospective career to the extent of placing no. 1 in the career preference survey of the Unite States. For this reason, the School of Business of Yeungnam University had signed MOU with Edustock which is a CFP designated education center since Oct, 2008 and started online and offline education of CFP at the same time. During the vacation, Professor Im, Byung-Jin and CFP instructors held a special lecture to unburden students\' mind preparing for CFP license exam. Especially, the acting CFPs of Korea FP Association have met the students directly to encourage younger students as they told about the know-how in the preparation stage of license and experiences in the practical work process. As a result, it gave a splendid achievement of recording a passing rate reaching up to 4.3 times the national average as 8 out of 10 students who have completed the education at the end of May this year. On that result, Professor Han, Young-Chun (52) of the School of Business said that \"we will manage the AFPK course and CFP course more systematically and organically to produce more internationally certified financial specialist.\" by saying \"the social demand for more specialized financial service gets greater as economy grows. At the same time, the demand for ethics of financial specialists is getting higher by experiencing international financial crisis recently. Therefore, a CFP possessing both the professionalism and ethics is indeed the financial specialist that we need.\"

In the reality where interest toward Dokdo is heightened just like a fad whenever there is provocation of Japan and quickly fades away, the task of examining the final report compiling assertion of Japanese side as a whole and rebutting each and every item was performed for the first time by Dokdo Institute. The special edition is composed of \'Study On Dokdo Awareness Shown In Old Map of Korea\' (Kim, Hwa-Kyung), \'Criticism On Analysis of Western-World-Produced Maps In Final Report of Investigative Research On Dokdo Issue\' (Kim, Jung-Sook), \'Dokdo Within Samkuk Tongram Yeojiro Jungjeondo and Ineungdo\' (Hosaka Yuji), \'Study On Dokdo Literature of Japanese Edo Era quoted In Final Report of Investigative Research On Dokdo Issue\' (Kim, Ho-Dong), \'Fabrication of Paradox Surrounding Dokdo Depredation\' (Kim, Hwa-Kyung), \'Investigation On Misinterpretation of Dokdo Kyungyungjajungjeongyangsamssiripjieon\' (Choi, Jang-Geun) and \'Critical Study On Handling of Takeshima Shown in San Francisco Peace Treaty of Tsukamodo Takasi\' (Jung, Gap-Yong) with a title of \'Criticism of Final Report of Investigative Research On Dokdo Issue.\' Among these, Professor Kim, Jung-Sook (Department of Korean History, Yeungnam University) is pointing out that \"Japanese researchers were voluntary in selecting maps that become targets of research by performing actions such as including many unnecessary maps or excluding maps that are actually necessary from the scope of analysis.\" Professor Hosaka Yuji (Sejong University) has rebutted by saying that \"this map was an official map of Japanese feudal government admitting that Dokdo is Korean territory by international law.\" on the issue that Japan was not acknowledging the value of Dokdo drawn in <Samkuk Tongram Yeojiro Jungjeondo> of Hayasi Sihei by saying it is a personal map. Also, by verifying the measuring process of Oki Island (Eunkido) of Ineungdo, it proves that Edomakbu was considering Dokdo as outside the Japanese territory.

We are planning to publish this book in English and Japanese to widely inform the international society.\" by saying that \"the recent study result is very important from the aspect that it is a development of countermeasure logics on Japan\'s assertion. That\'s because we could directly cope with Japan\'s criticism that Dokdo research of Korea was ignoring Japan\'s material and assertion until now.\" Meanwhile, Dokdo Institute was established as the first university annexed Dokdo Specialized Research Center in the country in May of 2005. It is attempting to establish theoretic system on Dokdo Sovereignty and \'Dokdo Studies\' by publishing specialized academic papers <Study of Dokdo>(1-5) and <Dokdo Study Collection> until now.
