 YU Department of Visual Communication Design are taking the lead in 'social contribution'.
 The department judged that it would be possible to enhance the usefulness and value of design through close cooperation with the society and has been engaged in various volunteer activities through design. A representative case is the project worked on together with the Daegu Police Department.
 
 Starting in the second semester of 2014, the department worked with the Daegu Police Department and designed the bus station in front of the Daegu Police Department (photo below). In the first semester of 2015, classes were carried out on designing the outer wall of the Daegu Jungang Police Station (photo above)( and the graphic design for the outer wall of the Daegu Police Department. It was judged to have transformed the authoritative and rigid image of the police to a friendlier image, while improving the urban aesthetics and offering a source of entertainment for citizens, and thus received a certificate of appreciation from the Daegu Police Agency.

 In the second semester of 2016, it carried out development for package design for Punggukmyeon, a small and medium company in Daegu. Students who participated in the talent donation received a talent donation certificate from the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and the beneficiary company in response made donations through the Daegu Community Chest of Korea. Furthermore, ten small and medium companies having difficulties with pursuing design development were selected for design projects with exclusive teams.
 Another major project was the design element development project for the Bukseong-ro arts and manufacturing. Students examined the historical and cultural significance of the Bukseong-ro arts and manufacturing technicians to discover elements that could be integrated in design. During this process, students produced graphics and illustrated story books to share the history and value of Bukseong-ro in an easy and entertaining way.
 
 YU Departmant of Visual Communication Design Dean Jung Jae-wan said, "Design is connected with various fields including urban, environmental, communication and architecture, so a social role is necessary. From this perspective, we will go anywhere that needs design in the future."
