<Launching ceremony of the YU International Student Association>
At the launching ceremony, YU President Sur Gil-soo said, “YU is not holding back in supporting the stable settlement and academic work of international students by methods such as establishing Korea’s first global exchange center, which is a general support facility for international students.” He added, “I hope that the International Student Association will become a student-governing body and a window for communication between the university and international students by forming a community among international students.”
The YU International Student Association is planning to organize academic departments, translation departments, legal consultation departments, culture and sports departments, and PR departments to help with student-governing activities, while also supporting the academic and everyday life of international students (experience-based learning, pick-up service upon arrival, academic and life consulting, etc.) through cooperation with the university. At the launching ceremony, Pan Yinchen (30, right on photo) from China currently enrolled at the YU Graduate School of Korean Language and Literature master’s degree program was appointed as the first chairperson of the association. Mr. Pan Yinchen who received the International Student Association flag from YU President Sur Gil-soo said, “I will help the International Student Association help international students settle down stably and focus on their studies.” He added, “I will also do my best so that we can help YU develop as not only international students, but members of YU.”
