The topics during the contest include suggestions that presenters can make with regards to CUK's Vision 2015, where the school hopes to be ranked among top 7 in the nation within the span of 5 years; and the introduction of a program amongst CUK family for the "respect for humanity" core value that CUK advocates. Interestingly, students made valuable comments and suggestions for CUK's Vision 2015. Some suggestions include increasing English lectures, increasing number and variety of foreign students, developing a research environment and new areas of cooperation between industry and academics to link graduates with prominent employers after graduation, strengthening the network with the alumni of CUK to foster mentoring and internship, among others. To develop potential of CUK, the students recommended that the school should provide for more academic buildings and better equipment, concentrate on specific majors which CUK excels in, headhunt competent professors and students who have great potential to become remarkable individuals. Moreover, the school can market itself to high school students and foreign universities more aggressively by making better network connections with other schools and letting them know about CUK's good performance. According to research, CUK ranks at par with Seoul's top universities, CUK should highlight this in marketing itself to potential students. Holding more multicultural day, green day (environment consciousness day), worthwhile exhibits can also strengthen the school's image. In addition, interaction between the three campuses of CUK can also help CUK be united towards its common goal. Volunteer activities available for students can also immerse students with worthwhile endeavors, reinforce the image of school and better reflect respect for humanity that the university advocates.
