During the first week of December of 2013, the Hanyang Brand Supporters(HBS) of Hanyang University(HYU) selected 74 influential HYU graduates, who have achieved great success in a wide range of fields. The 74 Young Leaders were selected through an online voting process using social network websites as well as through recommendations from other HYU alumni.
HBS selected the final Hanyangians for the 74 young leaders according to several standards. First, they narrowed down the candidates to those who started their undergraduate studies after 1983, since those before then would be relatively unknown despite their achievements. Another category for consideration involved candidates who had been introduced in the Hanyang Alumni Bulletin News and Internet Hanyang within the last three years.
Han Yu-ji, a Junior in the Division of Economics said, “I came to know 74 young leaders at HYU on Facebook. Since there are many Hanyangians in various fields, it was a good way of promoting pride in HYU.”
