Since 2017, CWNU has made an effort to focus on extracurricular activities every Friday. Each month in the 2019 fall semester focused on different aspects of extracurricular activities. In September students were encouraged to sign up for extracurricular activities, in October students were encouraged to take happiness and joy from their extracurricular activities, and in November an extra food conference was held. A total of 876 members of the school participated in these sessions in 2019. In 2020, face-to-face events were held under the theme of "A Great Release of a Wise University Life" in November. Two online contests where students can submit reports about their extracurricular activities will be held in December.

The Seldi Day student education evaluation team, which planned and promoted the event, has been operating as part of the ACE+ project since 2015. Currently, the 6th Student Education Evaluation Team for the 2020 school year is expanding its role to promote, monitor, and collect student opinions.

Park Ji-young, a teacher at the Creative Convergence Education Center, said, It would be great to see more students improve their capacity to develop themselves through Seldi Day programs.”

Seo Jung-jin, a student from the Department of Food and Nutrition, and who is a member of the Student Education Evaluation Team, said, “Along with Seldi Day, we planned to organize street promotions, where students from the Student Education Evaluation Team would go around the school to promote extracurricular activities. However, street promotions were canceled due COVID-19. I was still proud that many students could participate in Seldi Day’s events and learn about extracurricular activities. I hope many students will participate in extracurricular activities in the future.”
