About 100 students and faculty from Hosan University took part in the 2026 Yeongcheon Dam Marathon at Yeongcheon Dam Park on Saturday, providing volunteer services tied to their academic majors.
The event was organized as part of Hosan University's regional growth talent development program, known as the Anchor project.
The nursing department offered blood pressure, pulse and blood sugar checks along with health consultations, while the physical therapy department provided sports taping to help relieve muscle fatigue and prevent injuries.
The radiology department conducted free bone density screenings and distributed information on osteoporosis prevention, and the beauty smart care department offered aromatherapy experiences and hand massages to help participants recover and manage their health.
The Anchor project team also used QR codes to survey local residents on their demand for lifelong vocational education, gathering baseline data to inform future program planning.
Vice President Jeon Sang-hun said the university would continue to expand field-centered programs developed in partnership with the local community to broaden the impact of the Anchor project.
