Gyeongbuk College of Science received a commendation in the outstanding program operations category for faculty and staff at the "2026 Nongsim Cheonsim University Student Volunteer Corps Achievement Report," held Tuesday at the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation's central headquarters in Seoul.

The event brought together 12 universities from across the country to share program outcomes and community contribution cases and to promote successful volunteer models.

Gyeongbuk College of Science was recognized for operating the "GB University Community Service Corps" in connection with the Nongsim Cheonsim project, working alongside the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, the Korea Association of University Social Service and local volunteer centers to improve rural living conditions, enhance residents' welfare and revitalize rural communities.

The college was particularly praised for drawing on its academic expertise and human resources to address the practical needs of rural areas and for sustaining volunteer activities that foster mutual growth with the local community.

The event also featured a best-practice presentation in which the college shared the results of volunteer activities and cooperative models carried out jointly with local institutions.

"This award is the fruit of efforts made together by the university and the local community," said Lee Gyu-sik, head of the college's industry-academic cooperation foundation. "We will continue to strengthen cooperation with related organizations and contribute to revitalizing rural areas and developing the local community through tailored volunteer activities that draw on the university's expertise."
