Everything About Clubs at Changwon University

Club activities challenge students to do new things, to share hobbies with each other, and to build skills. Changwon University students have a lot of clubs that have formed with students who share a mutual interest. Therefore, Changwon University provides a lot of support not only for students' studies but also for a variety of activities. The Campus Journal asked the leaders of special clubs about club activities, and what they wanted to say to the incoming freshmen.

¡ãComuse

1. Comuse

Comuse is the CWNU band club that does school performances and busking. Club members enjoy various types of music with people who love music. Comuse is a space where students can learn how to play instruments, learn how to play the music they like, and make friends too. We are expecting performances in school that we take every year on May and November. If possible, Comuse will busk in front of the school. Students don’t need to worry about auditions or interviews; Comuse welcomes everyone who likes music. The club has guitars, bass guitars, drums, keyboards, singers, and so on. A person that has never played an instrument can easily learn how to play an instrument of their choice through mentoring. Comuse has an atmosphere where students can easily get to know other club members. When the club prepares for a performance, club members make a team with close friends, or a temporary team by instrument section, and they practice on a practice schedule.

To the new club members and students interested in joining Comuse: “We welcome everyone that wants to have a fun university life and wants to learn how to play an instrument.”

¡ãPhoenix

2. Phoenix

Phoenix is the cheerleading squad that represents Changwon University. The Phoenix cheerleading squad is a club that prepares performances with its members focusing on action cheerleading. Phoenix promotes the school through events at Changwon University, at middle and high school festivals, and at local events in Gyeongsangnamdo. Phoenix also goes beyond simply cheering. The club shows the enthusiasm of college students and communicates with the crowd to spread cheering culture. This year, Phoenix is going to participate in a cheerleading competition, and have more performances than last year. New club members are chosen through interviews, more so than through auditions, and practice is held for two hours on a weekday evening. Also, it’s recommended for students to join in the first semester because in the second semester there is a difference in the amount of practice.

To the new club members and students interested in joining Phoenix: “If you join the 28th class, you'll be able to make a lot of unforgettable memories of your university days. And you will meet some really good people. If you want an experience like this, join Phoenix!”
