2015 SU Update: 1,000 Universiade Supporters to be recruited by March 10th

GWANGJU – The 2015 Gwangju Universiade Organizing Committee will recruit 1,000 Universiade supporters among college students in the local area until March 10^th.

The GUOC announced the plan to create a group of Universiade supporters who will encourage and inspire local college students to be actively involved in the university sporting event in 2015, ensuring the event’s success. These supporters will play a variety of roles in the Universiade. Their responsibilities will include promoting and planning the event, coming up with creative ideas, going on a bike tour, and writing to newspapers and magazines. The supporters will make a year-long commitment starting from next month, but they may continue their roles until 2015 as they wish.

Anyone who is interested in participating in the Universiade supporter group may apply through the website, www.gwangju2015.kr or send an application by fax or through the College Student Association. The upcoming schedule will be posted on the GUOC website after the first meeting is held. 

By 2015, the GUOC plans to have recruited 150,000 college student supporters, and hopes to have built a global network of the Gwangju Universiade Supporters group.
