As the semester draws to a close, SUNY Korea's Student Services hosted the Spring 2024 Finals Countdown Dinner on June 5th at the SUNY Korea Quad. Before the final exams, 300 students gathered in a fun and relaxing atmosphere. The goal of this dinner was to provide students with a break from preparation for final exams so they could relax and spend time with each other.
Participants were served a wide variety of food including chips, coffee, drinks, fruits, kimbap, and ramen, ensuring there was enough dinner for everyone. In order to improve the outdoor experience, picnic mats were supplied to enable attendees to comfortably enjoy their meals in a natural environment. Additionally, by bringing their own bags to carry the food, students expressed dedication to sustainability which effectively reduced waste and promoted environmental responsibility.
The Spring 2024 Finals Countdown Dinner was an enjoyable event that united the SUNY Korea community and offered a refreshing break before the final exam period. This event not only helped to reduce stress but also strengthened the bonds between students. The participants were reminded of the supportive and active community they are part of, which surely contributes to their overall academic experience.
