The enrollment will be on the Sangsang University website ( www.sangsanguniv.com ) until February 9, 2023, and anyone from the whole country (as well as students on leave) can enroll. The 165 people who will be elected through document screening and interviews will assist as the ‘16th Sangsang Friends’ representing Sangsang Univ this year for seven months, from March to September.

College students elected as the ‘Sangsang Friends 16th class’ will arrange and run numerous tasks, such as local branding that gives new ideas to the local community and marketing activities, and eco-branding with the topic of eco-friendliness. All Sangsang Friends members will be given a certain budget of monthly activity expenses and professional training needed for the program planning and operation, and those who shine in activities will be granted additional scholarships and overseas volunteer opportunities.
