SUNGKYUNKWAN UNIVERSITY (SKKU), SEOUL, KOREA

The 5^th International Forum on Innovation in Higher Education was held on July 18^th (Wed) at the Business School building. The subject of the forum was "Student Success in College". The forum was hosted by Creative Informatics HRD Unit and the Education Innovation Center at SKKU. Due to the rapid changes occurring in higher education, world leading universities have made student success their primary objective and are trying to provide the best campus environment to educate students. In particular, universities are eager to implement high impact practices (systems and programs) so that students can make their campus lives successful on their own.

In accordance with this trend, the forum invited Dr. George D. Kuh who introduced the idea of "Student Success and Participation" for the first time. He spoke about high impact programs that are run by global leading universities. Also, Prof. Bae Sanghoon (Chair of SKKU Education Innovation Center) introduced a tool that can be used to measure how well each university teaches.

At the forum, about 200 people from the government, universities, and research institutes participated and discssed effective strategies and plans for future developments for higher education innovation.
