Three-Campus Program Consortium in East Asian Studies with Yonsei, Keio University, and University of Hong Kong Established Six-University Joint Program in East Asian Studies Created; Will Include Yonsei, Keio, Hong Kong, Cornell, Princeton, and King’s College On May 7, President Jeong Kap-young signed an agreement establishing the Three-Campus Program Consortium in East Asian Studies with Keio University and the University of Hong Kong. The Three-Campus Consortium will also facilitate and support exchanges with students from Princeton University, Cornell University, and King’s College London. The Joint Program in East Asian Studies, agreed to by these six universities, will allow 60 students (10 students from each university) to take courses at Yonsei, Keio, and The University of Hong Kong each year. The courses for the Joint Program will be developed collectively by the three Asian universities, and it will provide students from the United States and England, along with those from Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong, a valuable opportunity to further cultivate their global leadership skills in the East Asia. Officials from all six participating universities attended the ceremony at Yonsei, including: Professor Naoyuki Agawa, Vice President of Keio University; Professor John Burns, Dean of Social Sciences at The University of Hong Kong; Professor Keith Hoggart, Vice-Principal International at King’s College London; Professor Nancy Kanach, Director of the Office of International Programs at Princeton University; and Professor Hirokazu Miyazaki, Director of the East Asia Program at Cornell University. Emphasizing cooperation among Asian universities, the Three-Campus Program Consortium in East Asian Studies seeks to create a new global networking model, one that, while led by Asian universities, will involve institutions from throughout the world. Yonsei also hopes to expand the scope of the consortium by instituting faculty exchanges between the universities, as well as joint research and joint degree programs. As part of President Jeong’s “Asia’s World University” initiative, the Three-Campus Program Consortium in East Asian Studies is anticipated to solidify Yonsei’s status as a global university, and to pave the way for more educational and research exchanges with other world-class institutions.
