Ajou's first Brown Bag Meeting is held for the spring semester 2016-03-15 The first Brown Bag Meeting for the spring semester of the 2016 academic year was held at noon on March 15th in Conference Room 1 of Ajou's Yulgok Hall. Eighteen students who were selected based on prior applications talked with President Dong Yeon Kim over sandwiches and beverages for about two hours. Students asked questions about Paran Semester – Ajou's Creative Activity Program, other major programs offered by the University including the new scholarship system, some of the challenges President Kim faced and how he addressed them, and how to read books effectively, etc. President Kim said, "You should prepare for possible challenges when you are in favorable and comfortable times, instead of remaining complacent ," advising, "You can succeed when you throw yourselves into tough situations." He went on to say, "I expect students to experience failures and trials and errors through programs like Paran Semester," adding, "The University will actively support your challenges." He also introduced the University’s programs to help students find jobs and start businesses abroad and asked students to make the most of such programs when they take on challenges. The Brown Bag Meeting with the President will take place during lunch time on the first and third Wednesday of each month. Participants will engage in dialogue on any topics they would like, rather than setting ones in advance. About 20 students will be invited to each Brown Bag Meeting based on prior applications made via the University website. Participants will be selected in the order of their applications, and those who are not chosen will be given priority for the following sessions. ‘Brown Bag Meeting’ means a small number of people talking over lunch, and the term was created because the sandwiches or salads, etc. eaten for lunch usually come in brown bags.

Ajou's School of Business Administration is EPAS accredited by the European Foundation for Management Development 2016-03-08 The School of Business Administration under Ajou University was accredited for its bachelor degree program by EPAS, an international business and/or management program accreditation system operated by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). EFMD is a leading international network of graduate schools of business administration and corporate members. It contributes to establishing and developing educational standards and improving the quality of business and/or management programs. Last November, EFMD sent a four-member team to Ajou for the purpose of on-site evaluation as part of the accreditation process. Accreditation of the University program was then officially confirmed in February after review and a vote at its Board of Directors meeting. About 100 institutions in 34 countries have gained the EFMD accreditation, and Ajou's School of Business Administration is the first among Korean universities to be accredited for the bachelor degree program. Yonsei University, Korea University, and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology received the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) accreditation from EFMD, a combined certification of undergraduate and graduate programs. The EPAS accreditation follows an integrated endorsement in 2014 of Ajou's undergraduate and graduate programs in business administration from the Korean Association of Business Education Accreditation (KABEA). Dean Bong Heui Han of the School of Business Administration said, "The EPAS accreditation is an international recognition of the excellence of Ajou's business administration program," adding, "It is expected to further expand our global network, help attract excellent students from home and abroad, and boost our efforts to align the business administration programs to the global level."
