The Summer Semester of Wonkwang Digital University concluded a humanities lecture series titled "Discovering Wisdom in Life Through Poetry" featuring a guest from Taean City. The university organized this special lecture on June 18, inviting a Taean City poet to guide students in reflecting on life's wisdom through poetry.

The guest poet shared insights from their own works and life experiences, focusing on themes such as "studying for oneself," "living slowly and cherishing life," and "embracing a growth mindset for life."

Notably, the poet emphasized that appreciating poetry goes beyond mere admiration; it involves connecting the poem's meaning with personal experiences to create a deeper understanding of life. Attendees of the lecture reported that they gained time for introspection in their busy lives, as well as new perspectives on their future studies and learning.

One participant said, "I was able to pause and reflect on my life in the midst of my busy routine," adding that the advice to "study for oneself" would serve as strong motivation for their future academic pursuits. Another attendee expressed gratitude for the newfound strength and courage to live life more mindfully and to cherish themselves more deeply.

The university's representatives stated, "University education is not only about accumulating specialized knowledge but also about reflecting on one's own life and finding a better path." They emphasized their commitment to continue offering diverse humanities lectures that bring together various prominent figures to enable students to grow academically and personally.
