On November 1st 2025, SUNY Korea opened its doors to welcome prospective students and their families for the Experience Day event, an opportunity to discover what it’s like to study at SUNY Korea and explore various academic majors. The event ran from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and was filled with excitement, curiosity, and school spirit.
The day began with an introduction session, setting the stage for a series of engaging academic presentations. Session One (10:00–10:50 a.m.) featured programs in Business Management, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Fashion Design. Session Two (11:00 –11:50 a.m.) followed, highlighting Technology and Society, Applied Mathematics and Statistics, Fashion Business Management, and Electrical and Computer Engineering.
While students explored their desired majors, parents attended an information session led by the Admissions Team, where they had the chance to ask questions and learn more about SUNY Korea’s programs, admissions process, and campus life. Adding to the excitement, SUNY Korea’s beloved mascots made a special appearance, spreading cheer, posing for photos, and creating lasting memories for guests.
The event concluded with a mingling session, where prospective students interacted with Student Ambassadors and department representatives, gaining firsthand insights into academic life and campus experiences. Another highlight of the day was the Golden Bell Math Competition, where participants challenged themselves in a friendly contest that combined learning with fun.
SUNY Korea’s Experience Day not only provided valuable information but also captured the vibrant community spirit that defines the university. For many students, it was a glimpse of their future, one filled with learning, innovation, and global opportunity.
