Kang Kyungsoo Inaugurated as Chairman of Dongmyeong Cultural Foundation, Sangcheon Lee as President of Dongmyeong University

Retirement Ceremony for Former Chairman Seo Eutaek Also to Be Held

The inauguration ceremony for Kang Kyungsoo, the 15th Chairman of the Dongmyeong Cultural Foundation, and Sangcheon Lee, the 11th President of Dongmyeong University, will be held at 10:30 a.m. on the 24th in the main auditorium of the central library. The retirement ceremony for former Chairman Seo Eutaek will also take place at the same time.

In his inaugural address, Chairman Kang Kyungsoo stated, "At a time when Korea is facing a complex crisis, including low birth rates and economic stagnation, a decrease in the number of students in Busan, a lack of youth employment opportunities, and a high dropout rate, I feel a tremendous sense of responsibility. I will create a new turning point for the Dongmyeong Cultural Foundation through change, innovation, and adaptability, which are urgently needed."

In his inaugural address, President Sangcheon Lee said, "We will establish a future-oriented educational environment that leads the era of great innovation brought about by the advancement of generative AI, and create a 'student-centered innovative university.'"

President Lee presented the 'Four Principles' of openness, fairness, equity, and public interest. He emphasized the simultaneous realization of university internationalization and student success, as well as sound financial management, through customized student guidance and a close management system.

Considering recent domestic and international circumstances, the event will be held in a simplified manner, mainly with internal members such as directors and executives of the Dongmyeong Cultural Foundation, faculty and staff of Dongmyeong University and Dongmyeong Technical High School, and student representatives. Invitations to external guests and video congratulatory messages have been omitted.
