  CBNU started the Sessak Mentoring Project, which is a volunteer program for taking care of low-income middle school and high school students. The Sessak mentoring organization held an inauguration ceremony and an orientation meeting for 88 students who were selected as mentors at Gaesin Cultural Center.

 The Sessak Mentoring Project is supported by the Mirae International Foundation. The Mirae International Foundation was founded by Kim Sun-dong, who used to be a chairman of S-Oil. The project was started to help young students shape a hopeful future and to overcome poverty.

 This foundation runs the project with 13 universities, including CBNU, Seoul University, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Kyungpook University Chungnam University. The Mirae International Foundation donated four-hundred million won to CBNU.

 The purpose of the project is to prevent inherited poverty. The selected excellent students from CBNU teach middle school and high school students from poor backgrounds to be competitive and successful. Lee Ga-on, a freshman of the department of Korean Language and Literature who was selected as a volunteer, said about her will power; "I am usually interested in educational volunteering and I have been doing that. I feel dissatisfied because there is great scarcity of  volunteers compared to for the number of poor students who desperately hope to learn. I am very happy to help poor students with the other 87 volunteers. I'll do my best to fulfill the good intention of this project."

 One volunteer teaches 6~8 students, who are recommended by their previous schools or their neighborhood welfare centers, for more than one hour a week. They take charge of mentoring using a web-cam. It is easier and  more flexible to teach and manage their students on the Internet.

 The volunteers were selected among students who had over a 3.8 grade point average for the previous semester or received an academic scholarship.

 The volunteers have to submit curriculums to the foundation before they teach and have to report about how well they carry out their plans. The foundation supplies scholarships after evaluating reports on volunteering. The students can receive  scholarships of about 5.4~7.2 million won according to their actual outcomes.

 "Sessak Mentors! You are the pride of CBNU. Your efforts are a strong driving force for improving CBNU, and that will be also a foundation for your success," the CBNU president encouraged the volunteers.
