Student-Governed Activities Student activities in many fields are supported and promoted in my university. There are many self-governing student organizations such as General Student Council and other student organizations.

University Newspaper The Yeungdae Shinmun (campus vernacular newspaper) was first published in January 1968, by merging the Daegu and Chunggu College's newspapers which were first published in June and December, respectively, in the year of 1954.
