Fashion Design Students Visit Tokyo for 3 Nights and 4 Days 15 students from the Fashion Institute of Technology Fashion Design Department travelled to Tokyo, Japan for a field trip to get a hands-on global experience of the fashion industry. Mark-Evan Blackman, Chair of the Fashion Design Department, led the 15 students, in their 2nd or 4th semester in the Fashion Design major, on this international field trip from Tuesday, June 20 to Friday, June 23. Prior to this trip, the students were required to conduct a professional analysis of the Seoul Fashion Market to provide them with meaningful insight before traveling to Tokyo. This analysis helped the students to compare and contrast the differences between the Korean and Japanese fashion markets when visiting the 15 assigned retail units. During this three night and four-day trip, the students also visited 2 museums and 2 galleries, and met up with the Japanese apparel Design Director. This wonderful opportunity to communicate with the designer allowed the students to understand how designers articulate their intelligence into their design. While visiting all the assigned retail units, museums, and galleries, the students were able to review and analyze the clothing assortments and displays, as well as study the unique designs of the garments.

CPA Study Group's Field Trip to Deloitte Korea "If it wasn't hard everyone would do it. It's the hard that makes it great." - Tom Hanks The CPA Study Group went on an educational field trip to Deloitte Korea on Tuesday, May 16. Around 15 students were able to learn about this company. Deloitte Anjin LLC, located in Seoul, Korea is one of the largest accounting firms that provides services in audit and assurance, consulting, financial advisory, risk management, and tax. The students were also able to meet up with a SUNY Korea alumnus currently working at Deloitte. The alumnus of the Business Management Department graduated from SUNY Korea in Summer 2021 and has been working at Deloitte Korea since then. He gave practical tips on how to manage time wisely during university life and how that helped to get his job at Deloitte Anjin LLC. The office tour session that was a part of the field trip provided a special opportunity for students to experience what it is like to work at a company. The mentorship from the SUNY Korea alumnus and the glimpse of office life have sparked students' motivation to study harder to achieve their USCPA certificate. The CPA Study Group was first launched in Spring 2022 with 20 students. Now with a total of 30 students, this study group provides superior sessions for those who want to become a CPA, and includes seminars, field trips, mentoring and advising from USCPA.

Three Students Represent SUNY Korea in the 2023 Hack@CEWIT Sije Park, Abhishek Gaire and Seungjun Chae from SUNY Korea, and Labesh Baral from SBU in New York, achieved the highest award, “Undergraduate Best in Show” in the Hack@CEWIT that was held in-person on March 3-5, 2023 at Stony Brook University. The Hack@CEWIT is organized in partnership with industry leaders such as IBM, IEEE, Major League Hacking, NASA, and many others, making it one of the premier hackathons at Stony Brook, United States. Around 300 undergraduate and graduate students participated in this Hackathon; among the 16 prizes, Sije’s team attained the highest award. In this Hackathon, Sije’s team was awarded for their project on “Smart Fridge”. Smart Fridge was inspired by the major issue of food waste and inefficient grocery shopping. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, every year 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted due to discretionary purchases. To exacerbate matters, food waste contributes to climate change as a large amount of methane gas is produced when decomposing food in landfills. Therefore, Sije’s team developed a technology that will help solve this issue for environmental sustainability and economic efficiency. Their team used a combination of technologies, including Amazon Textract OCR tools and AI-powered algorithms, to create a seamless user experience web app. The web app addresses this issue by using OCR technology to scan grocery receipts and track foods before they expire. Using an AI-powered recipe generator, users can discover new recipes based on their ingredients and food items that will expire the quickest. The app also allows users to save their favorite recipes and track their eco points.

SUNY Korea Students Wins an Award in SBU Hacks 2022 Kyungbae Min (double major in AMS and CS), Dukyoung Eom (CS), Hyerin Choi (double major in AMS and CS), and Sije Park (CS) were awarded the ‘Cleanest UI/UX’ in the SBU Hacks 2022, a hackathon competition. Here is an interview with one of the team members. Hello, I am Kyungbae Min. I’m a senior and majoring in AMS, also studying CS as a minor. I’m currently working as a front-end developer. 1. Why did you choose to study at SUNY Korea? The biggest advantage I thought was that I can experience an international environment and curriculum in Korea. For me, burdened with the desire to study abroad, I expected that high-quality lectures provided in English and the school's compulsory policy of sending students to the US in their senior year would provide me with a broader perspective, and I am currently experiencing that. 2. Briefly explain the competition you participated in, and what prize you were awarded. ‘2022 SBU Hacks’ is a 48-hour hackathon held by SBU, MLH (Major League Hacking), and a lot of sponsors. It is a competition in which participants form a team of up to four people to independently create projects using any technology in the form of software or hardware for 48 hours. About 300 participants from all over the country, from undergraduates to graduate students, gathered to devise novel business models and projects using technology, and on the last day, they were evaluated by judges in each field through demos. Our team created ‘Plog-In’, a web app targeting mobile platforms under the topic of Plogging, and won the ‘Cleanest UI/UX’ category among about 60 projects.

Research paper by DTS students published in an academic journal A research paper written by DTS undergraduate students, Tae-Yun Kim, Soo-min Kim, Tae-woong Yoon, and Do-hyun Oh under Professor Neal Dreamson’s supervision, has been published in an academic journal, Korean Journal of Converging Humanities (Volume 9, Issue 2, page 1-22). Korean Journal of Converging Humanities is a journal registered on KCI (Korea Citation Index), published on a quarterly basis. The paper was an outcome from their study in a course, EST 441 Interdisciplinary Senior Project, Fall 2020. In the paper, the team critically reviews the concepts of smart cities and human smart cities using three well-known smart cities’ plans including Barcelona, Dubai, and Singapore. The team discovers that the plans contain anti-humanism and anti-non-humanism (or anthropocentrism). The team argues for three posthumanist dimensions: non-dualism, more-than-humans, and ecological community to make smart cities free from anthropocentrism. The team develops a conceptual framework for post-humanist smart cities to ensure that the next generation of smart cities becomes inclusive of all humans, non-humans, and more-than-humans. Below are the testimonial statements of the students. Tae Yun: The production of this research paper enables me to have a new perspective on technology that coexists with the present society we live in. Defining the right use of a city and technology from a different (and whole new) perspective was the biggest challenge but, at the same time, was the biggest harvest of learning. Soomin: I had been interested in policies regarding Smart Cities, and this opportunity helped me open up new perspectives towards the topic. I'm happy to see our paper got published in the academic journal as an extension of the college course. I was thankful to work with a great team and learn deeply about the research process. Taewoong: I have learned a lot academically in the process of writing this research paper, and I deeply felt that there were things I needed to study more after all. I sincerely thank Professor Neal Dreamson. Prof. Dreamson has given us a lot of feedback. I also appreciate our team members, who have always commented on revising and supplementing with meticulousness. Dohyun: What I gained from this paper is that I learned the proper way of critical review. A critical review is not just criticizing a topic but continuously questioning and evaluating a topic.
