Sponsorship House is a system that any company that wants to become part of the Busan University of Foreign Studies family can join. If companies or businesses want to join the Sponsorship House, they can do so by donating a certain amount of money to a designated account every month, and this money will be used for the development of BUFS. In order to apply, the company must fill out and submit certain documents. In this way, businesses that donate to BUFS can benefit from having an official sponsorship plaque, being issued tax-reduction receipts for donations, continuously promote their business in various promotional magazines issued by the school, and also manage the registration of the school's website.
In fact, Aristata, a public relations ambassador at BUFS, steadily uploads and promotes Sponsorship House news on SNS such as Naver Blog, Facebook, and Instagram, providing more detailed and accurate information to students at BUFS who are not familiar with nearby commercial districts or restaurants. Thanks to this, students who live in the surrounding commercial districts can learn about good restaurants and other useful stores, so they can help each other, killing two birds with one stone, as the saying goes. In addition, by joining the Sponsorship House, other customers who have been looking for this store can find out that it is a Sponsorship House subscription company, so customers can treat the store more favorably and become more familiar with the store. Currently, a total of 31 various companies are subscribed, and if you say that you come from 'BUFS' when booking and visiting businesses associated with Sponsorship House, they will be able to provide services or get a good image for students of BUFS.
Hasamdong Cafe, one of the stores that sponsored BUFS, said, "When I was a university student, I felt grateful that I got help, and if I had a chance, I wanted to be a little help even if it wasn't my university." In addition, there were students from BUFS among our employees, and we sponsored them because it was a university near the store. BUFS and its neighboring companies seem to be able to develop further because there are companies that have sponsored with a good heart, such as they want to be helpful to students of BUFS, or that the local commercial district will revive and have a good impact on the economic cycle.
