LAUNCH OF THE COLLEGE APPLICATION PROGRAM (CASP)

The launch of The College Application Support Program (CASP) is a significant achievement for the Residential Life team this year. It is part of the team's efforts to improve the weekend structure and programs offered to students. The initiative's success can be attributed to the team's triangulation approach in research and implementation, ensuring that it meets the needs and expectations of the students.

The CASP offers students three potential options: volunteering, skill-based, or sports-based activities for a 10week block of 2 or 3 hours per week each semester. Students can choose the activity that best suits them, and they can even communicate with their parents to make the best decision. This flexibility ensures that students enjoy the program and are not forced into any activity that they do not like.

In addition to the experience and enjoyment, students will also receive accreditation for their efforts. This accreditation will be a valuable addition to their college applications, showcasing their dedication to extracurricular activities. Students can log their volunteering hours using the VMS system used throughout Korea, which is an efficient and reliable way to keep track of their hours

The success of the program can be attributed to the valuable feedback from parents and students The team appreciates the feedback and has used it to improve the program The initiative's eagerness and enthusiasm shown by the students are inspiring, and the team is optimistic that this will positively impact the students' lives

While the program is primarily for high school students, middle school students are welcome to participate in some of the more fun-based experiences, such as the Jeju-Tourist experience This experience will help middle school students learn more about Jeju Island's culture and history, providing them with a unique perspective that will be useful in their future academic endeavors

In conclusion, the Residential Life team's launch of The College Application Support Program (CASP) is a remarkable achievement The program offers students the flexibility to choose from three different activities and receive accreditation for their efforts The team appreciates the feedback received from parents and students, which has been used to improve the program The team is confident that this program will have a positive impact on the students' lives and will make a valuable contribution to their future academic pursuits
