The orientation program serves as an important starting point, helping K26 students better understand the learning environment they will be part of over the coming years while taking a proactive approach to adapting to the expectations of university education.
It is also an opportunity for K26 students to get to know their peers and lecturers while gradually developing a proactive and responsible mindset and a spirit of supporting one another throughout their university journey.
As part of the program, freshmen are introduced to Dong A University's mission, symbols, educational philosophy and core values. Topics including interpersonal culture, a culture of responsibility, campus culture and the culture of filial respect - distinctive values of the Dong A University community - are also emphasized to provide students with a foundation for personal and character development from their very first days at the university.
In particular, the two-way interaction between speakers and students, combined with engaging activities during each session, has created an open, lively and energetic learning atmosphere. Through these activities, freshmen have actively engaged with the content, helping them remember and gain a deeper understanding of the university's core values, cultural standards and sense of responsibility as members of the Dong A University community.
During the program, K26 students are also introduced to learning methods suited to the university environment and become familiar with online learning tools such as Canvas, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom. Learning how to understand and effectively apply technology in their studies from the very beginning helps students gradually develop self-directed learning skills, a proactive mindset and the ability to adapt to digital learning environments while cultivating a lifelong learning mindset - an educational direction that the university consistently pursues.
At the same time, freshmen receive detailed information and guidance on the learning outcomes and competencies expected in their respective majors. This provides a foundation for students to set goals and develop study plans from their early years at university, helping them achieve the best possible results and make their four years at Dong A University meaningful and fulfilling.
Beyond becoming familiar with the learning environment and study methods, K26 students are also equipped with essential knowledge about their rights, obligations and responsibilities as students under regulations issued by the Ministry of Education and Training and the university. Understanding these regulations not only helps students fulfill their responsibilities throughout their studies but also enables them to proactively address issues that may arise and protect their legitimate rights during their time at the university.
From principles of learning and personal development to cultural conduct and responsibility toward the community, the university carefully selects training content and connects it with students' real-life experiences. In this way, the 2026 orientation program is not only an introduction to Dong A University but also a starting point for K26 students to develop effective learning methods, understand the humanistic values they aspire to uphold and proactively shape their university journey and build their own path toward success.
