COVID-19 Notice

President's Message (April 29, 2020) 2020.04.29: Common Office of the President

April 29, 2020

Dear Yonsei Family,

The university leadership held a temporary Academic Board meeting this morning and we have decided to extend the period of online/non-face-to-face lectures to after the midterms, from May 13 to June 27, 2020. This decision was made to ensure the safety of the Yonsei family, as the risk of the spread of the COVID-19 virus has not been fundamentally resolved, while complying with the government's recommendation to maintain social distancing.

Spring flowers are in full bloom on the Yonsei campus, and so are the students' and professors' yearning to meet each other in person. It is my sincere wish that our students and professors can join on campus and share their great passion for study and research, free from the limitations of online lectures. However, at the same time, it is imperative to protect the health of the Yonsei community, the country, and the world's citizens to fight this infectious disease.

Now we must devote our efforts to improve the quality of online lectures and pioneer this new frontier of education. I deeply appreciate the cooperation and efforts you have shown so far, and I hope that you will continue to show your commitment to Yonsei University through mutual consideration and cooperation for the rest of the semester.

Thank you.

Seoung Hwan Suh
President
Yonsei University
