HUFS, Kyung-hee University and University of Seoul hosted a joint festival from Sept. 25 to 30. The festival, called “Troika,” taking place for the first time of this year aims to promote cooperation among universities of Dongdaemun-gu.

Lee Seon-beom, the president of the Emergency Planning Committee (EPC) of Seoul Campus said, “There have been aspirations for inter-campus activity among the students of the three universities. We believe that this gala would serve as momentum to bring harmony, friendship, and unity to the university community.” With the desire of event organizers to create a new campus culture, the slogan of Troika was set as “We Move.”

Troika consists of three major programs: “Yeokdongjeon,”  a sports event between students, “Gamdongjae,” an academic exchange, and “Akdongjae,” a cultural performance of each university’s clubs. HUFS was in charge of the opening ceremony and Gamdongjae. President Lee said, “We focused on the establishment of Troika this year. From this time forward, we will do our best to consolidate the event by reflecting students’ feedbacks.”
