• Future Marketing Expert Training Program 'Sangsang Marketing School'

  Under the motto of 'nurturing young and capable future marketing experts,' Sangsang Univ. has been running the 'Sangsang Marketing School' since 2010. In 2023, 800 university students participated in this program, attending online courses covering practical marketing trends and case studies. They then undertook missions to propose marketing strategies for businesses. The top 80 participants from 11 regions who advanced to the finals participated in the 'Marketing Hackathon' held at KT&G's Talent Development Center, where they developed marketing plans and presentations, furthering their growth as prospective marketers.

• University Student ESG Design Creation Program 'Sangsang Blue Pavilion'

  The 'Sangsang Blue Pavilion' is a program where students create pavilions (sculptures) that convey environmental conservation messages using ocean waste. Launched in 2023, the program saw 15 student teams participate in a design idea presentation. The final five selected teams attended a pavilion-making camp in Jeju, where they used sea glass and fishing gear collected from Jeju beaches to construct pavilions. These were displayed at Buksugu Square in Jeju City and later repurposed into benches and notice boards, delivering a powerful message about the seriousness of environmental pollution and the importance of conservation.
