The POSTECH Autumn Festival was held from Oct. 3-4. The festival is ordinarily held in spring, but this year it was held in fall (due to the Sewol Tragedy last spring) and was shortened from three days to two days. It started with freshmen performances from the Department of Material Science and Engineering at 7 P.M. in front of the 78 stairs. The opening ceremony followed and other departments’ freshmen (MATH, CHEM, CE, IME) showed the fruit of two weeks of practice, which includes at least 4 hours a day. While the freshmen were showing their performances, sophomores of each department operated pubs in front of the student cafeteria. Because the festival was reduced to two days, individual booths were also held along with the pubs of the sophomores.
The next day, from 11 A.M., some students opened their own booths in front of the student cafeteria. There were many kinds of food and entertainment. Some food booths include waffle, sausages, and ice cream. Other entertainment booths included throwing water balloons, and body painting. Participants could get free gifts from entertainment booths and enjoy various snacks and foreign foods. At 3:30 P.M., the 78 quiz was held and from 7 P.M., a group of Postechians performed in front of the 78 stairs. The first performance was POSKING,  followed by VOCES, BREMEN, STEELER, and P-FUNK. The booths that opened at night sold beer, cocktails, and other drinks with delicious side dishes.
Before the festival, there were concerns about its late date, but the result was a success. Although a K-pop star did not come, Postechians enjoyed the festival enough by themselves. All of students showed their best with high-quality performances and pubs or booths. Every student knew that others had prepared very hard for two weeks. Students got along joyfully and the festival was a time of joyful interaction among the various departments.
