GLEAP
GLEAP is
GLEAP is a undergraduate student honor society established by Seoul National University's College of Natural Sciences and was created to provide opportunities for outstanding students attending natural sciences to become future international leaders. GLEAP was founded in 2012, and as of 2023, there are 9 people in the 11th and 10 people in the 12th. GLEAP's activities are carried out with financial and administrative support from the College of Natural Sciences, but GLEAP is essentially a student autonomous organization led by students. All of GLEAP's activities are made through direct efforts by students, from planning to implementation.
Currently, GLEAP is conducting Social Contribution, Academic, and Exchange activities under the motto 'Connect Science, Illuminate World'. As Social Contribution activities, we conduct Talk-Talk Mentoring for high school students in Gwanak-gu and Natural Science Concert held in Seoul and Busan every summer. As an Academic Activity, we publish Monthly GLEAP that tells interesting natural science stories on the 1st of every month and hold Academic Seminars at the end of every month. As an Exchange activity, we are interacting with STEM, an excellent student center at Seoul National University's College of Engineering, and KPF (KAIST Presidential Fellowship), and we are hosting The Night of GLEAP with Alumni. In addition, we conduct Foreign Academy & Culture Trip at the beginning of each year to visit research institutes in overseas countries and interact with overseas student organizations. Through this, we would like to develop our dream of becoming a global leader by leading the popularization of natural science, crossing the boundaries of learning, and interacting with various people.
Members of GLEAP are not experts in each field yet, but we think there are many dreams that can only be achieved through the perspective of undergraduates who are at the boundary between the public and experts. Thanks to the enthusiasm of its members, GLEAP has grown at a rapid pace over the past decade. Although the start was small, GLEAP has already grown into an organization that conducts natural science concerts for more than 200 high school students and cooperates with next-generation leaders at home and abroad such as STEM, KPF, and SPS. GLEAP is still not complacent and continues to strive to develop academic leadership, return opportunities, and move forward into the world.
