COVID-19 Notice

President's Message (March 31, 2020) 2020.03.31
Common Office of the President

March 31, 2020


Dear Yonsei Community Members:


Although the Yonsei campus has already welcomed blooming flowers, I cannot enjoy them without welcoming Yonsei students and faculty members in classrooms owing to the COVID-19 outbreak. I do appreciate support by the students, faculty and staff members for untact/online classes this semester.


It was expected that the expansion of COVID-19 will be stabilized within a few weeks; however; we cannot find the satisfactory recovery of the COVID-19 in Korea yet to resume in-class activities on campus. Therefore, the university leadership has decided to extend the period of the untact/online lecture until May 12, 2020, in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on campus.


Including experiments, labs, and lessons, I would like to request that all instructors will continue dedicated teaching under untact/online educational environments. By the end of April, we are planning to make announcements on the class schedule and policy so that students and faculty members can manage the remainder of the semester.


I am afraid that it is quite a painful experience for students and faculty members to comply with unpredictable COVID-19 preventative measures and the social distancing policy. However, I believe that your continued cooperation and commitment to untact/online education will pave the way to prevail over this unprecedented pandemic crisis by COVID-19.


I am sorry to postpone our "regular" classes again, but I believe that students and faculty members will meet again in the classrooms in the near future.


Yours sincerely,


Seoung Hwan Suh

President

Yonsei University
