This meeting, which was held face-to-face for the first time in 5 years due to the effects of COVID-19, gathered the executives of ACUCA to discuss the details of the ACUCA General Assembly event to be held at Hannam University in October, expand financial support according to the progress of the event, share ACUCA's first half achievements, and conduct revenue and expenditure.

In particular, at this meeting, they held a sharing session to verify the results of expanding the Micro-Degree program, which Hannam University first introduced and operates, to ACUCA member universities. The Microdegree program, a practical education program that grants mini-degrees upon completion of a minimum number of credits specified for each field, has seen a steady increase in the number of students completing it, with 195 students from 5 countries and 7 universities last summer vacation, 256 students from 5 countries and 11 universities in the winter vacation, and 307 students (recruitment in progress) this summer vacation.
President Lee of Hannam University, who serves as the chairman of ACUCA, said in his keynote speech, "After the start of the pandemic, member universities had a difficult time, but they found a new way to communicate with students with a strong will to teach. ACUCA will lead the change in higher education and seek new ways that are beneficial to universities and students."
