The YU General Alumni Association (Chairman Jung Tae-il) opened the ‘Alumni Sarangbang’ after remodeling.
The ‘Alumni Sarangbang’ remodeled the YU General Alumni Association Hall on the fourth floor in Dong-gu, Daegu to three times its past size.
The YU General Alumni Association completed remodeling after about two months of construction and held the opening ceremony on August 20. At the ceremony were present Chairman Jung Tae-il, executives, Yeungnam School Foundation Director Han Jae-sook, YU President Sur Gil-soo, and other alumni.
The expanded office is comprised of a Sarangbang that YU alumni can use freely as they wish, a medium conference hall (Dalgubeol Hall) that can accommodate 20 people and equipped with beam projectors, etc., and the main conference room (Cheonma Hall) that can accommodate about 60 people.
The remodeling construction was paid for by the fervent support of alumni by donating the entire 150 million won for construction by the 40th chairman group launched in March and alumni together with Chairman Jung Tae-il.
Chairman Jung Tae-il (center in photo) said, “We remodeled the space so that alumni can visit the alumni office any time to have tea and chat. We warmly welcome alumni to visit.”
The YU General Alumni Association was established in 1952 and has a total of 230,000 members. The General Alumni Association Hall was built in its current location in 1995 standing five stories tall. Also, the YU Alumni Scholarship Association that was founded in 1987 has currently raised over 3.6 billion won in total and has been providing the funds as scholarships for students. Chairman Jung also donated 1 billion won in scholarship funds last May.
