6th International Scholars’ Day

 

 

 

 

On June 14, the Office of International Affairs (OIA) hosted the 6th International Scholars’ Day dinner, which honors Yonsei’s Sinchon, Wonju, and Yonsei University Health System (YUHS) faculty from abroad with a banquet at the Presidential Reception Hall. Altogether, the event hosted over 100 guests, including President Yong-Hak Kim, senior staff and the evening’s guests of honor, Yonsei’s international faculty.

 

The evening’s program was presided over by Associate Dean for International Affairs, Prof. John Frankl and was accentuated by welcoming remarks and warm encouragement from President Yong-Hak Kim and an eloquent salutation by Prof. Anthony Adler of UIC, followed by a serenade by a men’s quartet from the College of Music and a raffle drawing.

 

 

Yonsei University currently hosts nearly 360 international faculty (including professors and research fellows). The OIA hosts International Scholars’ Day every year to foster an inclusive environment for international faculty and cultivate a sense of Yonsei pride while encouraging internationalization through educational exchange between faculty members.
