SR CEO Kim Yong-beom (54) donated 100 million KRW as development funds to YU.

 

  At 2 p.m. on the 8th, Mr. Kim visited YU and met with YU President Choi Oe- chool stating his intent to donate 100 million KRW hoping to contribute to the development of his alma mater. Mr. Kim was from the YU Department of Sociology class of ‘84 and completed the Graduate School of Public Administration CEO Chief Policy Leader Course (10th class).

 

  Mr. Kim has always been affectionate for his alma mater and continuously donated to development funds. In 2018, he donated 20 million KRW asking to use it in the international exchange activities of YU, for a total donation of 130 million KRW in development funds.

 

  Mr. Kim said, “It has been a long time since I graduated, but I still love my school. I really wanted to show my support for the college faculty who are working hard despite the difficult conditions caused by the spread of COVID-19. I hope that I can contribute to the development of the university more in the future as well.”

 

  In response, YU President Choi Oe-chool said, “Thank you for coming back to your alma mater despite graduating decades ago. I am especially thankful for the donation to the development fund that will be used for our employees, who are a great pillar for the development of the university.” He added, “The support shown from senior alumni will instill great courage in our university’s members. Please continue to show your unwavering interest and love in the future. I will also lead the university at the best of my ability to live up to your expectations.”
 YU Labor Union chair Kwon Ki-young, who was also in attendance at the donation ceremony, said, “I understand that this is the first development fund donation for employees. I would like to thank you on behalf of the employees.” He added, “I believe that the interest and affection of senior alumni will help motivate employees greatly.”

 

  Meanwhile, YU plans to utilize the development funds donated by Mr. Kim for improving employee welfare such as employee communication and motivation programs, awarding outstanding employees, etc.
