The 13th YU College of Medicine alumni donated 100 million KRW to their alma mater. They gathered together to help with the development of their alma mater and juniors in commemoration of the 30th years anniversary since their enrollment.
At the ‘Homecoming Day’ (steering committee chair Kim Jong-soo) held on the 5th at the YU College of Medicine Jukseong Lecture Hall to commemorate the 30th year anniversary since being admitted to YU, about 20 people gathered at the alma mater on behalf of the 13th alumni association. At this event were present Executive Vice President for Educational Innovation Kim Jae-choon, Executive Vice President for Medical Affairs and Director of Medical Center Kim Jong-yeon, Dean of the College of Medicine Lee Gyeong-hee, College of Medicine Alumni Association Chair Kim Jong-yeong, and about 50 students at the College of Medicine welcomed the alumni.
Here, the 13th College of Medicine Alumni Association donated 100 million KRW for school development funds and an additional 20 million KRW as College of Medicine Alumni Association scholarship funds and development funds. Development fund donations by the YU College of Medicine alumni have long become a tradition. Up until now, homecoming days were held for the 30th anniversary of each class where they donated development funds for the alma mater as well as development funds and scholarship funds for the alumni association.
Steering Committee Chair Kim Jong-soo said, “It is quite emotional to see alumni, professors and my seniors and juniors who enrolled at YU and worked on our dreams as medical professionals remembering the spirit of Chunma 30 years ago. Through this event, we hope to strengthen friendships among fell alumni as well as our love for alma mater.”
YU College of Medicine Dean Lee Gyeong-hee said in his welcoming address, “I hope that this homecoming event will be a meaningful time to think back on the happy memories made back on campus. I ask for your continued support and interest for the development of YU and junior students.”
Meanwhile, the 13th YU College of Medicine alumni that attended this event took a tour around the YU College of Medicine campus where their juniors study following the donation ceremony, and also listened to explanations on the development of the school, and then took the time to encourage their juniors.
