Choi Oe-chool (64) was appointed as the 16th president of YU on February 1. His term will be for four years until January 31, 2025.

  At 2 p.m. on the 1st, while starting his official term with the appointment ceremony at the YU Cheonma Art Center Convention Hall, YU President Choi said, “I will manage the university setting the founding spirit of YU to contribute to creating a new history of national revival as a top priority.” The university is not in a favorable situation considering the drop in school-going populations, etc. Under such circumstances, doing nothing would not maintain our current state, but be the shortcut to become obsolete.” He added, “We will actively respond to changes and take the initiative to turn crisis into opportunity by taking on new challenges. I ask all of the members of YU to participate for the innovation of the university.”
