1. Hello, please introduce yourself.
Hello. I'm Winara, a 21st-year student majoring in Business Administration, graduating this summer.
2. I heard you received the Dean's Award for Academic Excellence and Research Excellence at the 2025 Commencement Ceremony. Could you share a brief acceptance speech?
It was a great reward to feel like my consistent efforts throughout my undergraduate career were recognized. Above all, I was most delighted that my parents were so proud.

3. I heard you graduated with excellent grades! Do you have any secrets or know-how for achieving such great results?
My commute was a four-hour round trip. Haha. Thanks to that, I felt each class was more valuable and I was able to focus more. That's not to say I recommend a four-hour commute, but I think you gain a lot from the process of reorganizing the lectures in your own words.
4. Are there any activities you've participated in, on or off campus? Could you share some of your most memorable ones?
I have many fond memories from my off-campus marketing club and the business school band, but my most memorable experience is my exchange program in Canada after the pandemic. Taking classes, making friends, and living independently in an unfamiliar environment has helped me grow and broaden my horizons. If you're interested, I highly recommend giving it a try.

5. Is there a course you remember most from your time?
I remember a course I took in my second year called "Digital Marketing and Analytics." It was linked to the Naver Supporters program, where each team was assigned a budget and had to operate an advertising system for a small business smart store. This course truly sparked my interest in digital marketing.
6. What are your future career paths and goals?
Through my undergraduate studies, I discovered a keen interest in data-driven marketing and planning. I'm currently preparing for a job where I can utilize these skills, and I also hope to build my career and work abroad.
7. Finally, if you have any stories to share with fellow business school students, please share them.
Looking back, even the smallest and most insignificant events have been invaluable catalysts for shaping who I am today. I'm sure you're all building your own stories, so I encourage you to believe in your own path and move forward steadfastly.
