In his inaugural address, President Park presented his philosophy for university management as "a group in which everyone moves together," emphasizing the need to improve the university’s structure through collaboration and interdepartmental cooperation.

He also outlined plans to expand AI and big data-based interdisciplinary education, and to enhance synergy between campuses through a mutually beneficial strategy with the Da Vinci Campus.

He stated, "By establishing 'meta value' as the core concept, we will promote structural transformation and strengthen the competitiveness of the university. We will also expand industry-academia partnerships, including cooperation with Doosan Group, to create a growth foundation where industry, education, and research are organically connected."
