    YU students have been making donations one after the other to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.
   
    On the 23rd, Bae Jae-young (24, junior, College of Medicine) handed 10 million KRW to College of Medicine Dean Yoon Sung-soo saying that he wants to help YU overcome COVID-19. Mr. Bae donated the leadership scholarship, etc. that he received after being appointed as the College of Medicine student president for funds to overcome COVID-19.
   
    Mr. Bae said, ‘Experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic both directly and indirectly as a future medical professional gave me the chance to think again about the public nature of the health and medicine sector and about the mission of medical professionals.” He added, “I am still a student so I cannot help in the medical field directly, so I wanted to do whatever I could to help.”
   
    This is the third donation from YU students. It started with the YU general student government. In March of last year, the YU general student government held a donation campaign to beat COVID-19 where they gathered about 7 million KRW to purchase daily supplies to give to the Daegu Medical Center and YU Medical Center. The student government of the YU College of Medicine also held charity drivers to gather 3.4 million KRW in donations and handed it over to the YU Medical Center on April 2, and voluntary donations have been continuing among students.
   
    YU President Sur Gil-soo said, “I am proud of the students doing their best in their given situations to help overcome COVID-19.” He added, “YU will do its best to minimize impact on the studies of students caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
