2022 Spring Semester Wooseok Chung Ho Scholarship Awards Held
The 10th Wooseok Chung Ho Scholarship Awards was held on April 22 (Fri) in the Sohyang Lecture Room on the 6th floor of the 600th Anniversary Hall. Seojin Chung, the president of Hwashin and the son of the late Chairman Chung Ho, visited our university and awarded the Wooseok Chung Ho scholarship to the selected students. The late Chairman Chung Ho has given back a substantial part of his possessions to society which he collected from his usual frugal lifestyle and remarkable corporate management, and he continues his love for his juniors with his donation to this school, which is 7.92 billion won in total.
19 scholarship students, the main actors of the ceremony, attended this event, along with the school officials including Junyoung Kim (Chairman of Board), Junmo Cho (Vice President of Humanities and Social Sciences Campus), Sunghyun Kim (Dean of College of Economics), Heejoon Ahn (Dean of SKK Business School), Seongwoo Ji (Director of External Affairs & Public Relations office), and Hyundae Shin (Manager of External Affairs & Public Relations office).
The Wooseok Chung Ho Scholarship was founded to support undergraduates to contribute to society and grow into talents leading the Republic of Korea, and the scholarships have been awarded to a total of 392 students since 2012. This semester, the scholarship of 40 million won in total was given to 20 students; 16 students from the College of Economics and 4 students from SKK Business School.
The awards ceremony was continued by congratulations from President Seojin Chung and greetings from Chairman Junyoung Kim. There was also a remembrance video of the late Chairman Chung Ho which showed an interview with the representative of the graduates, Muhyun Kim and Jaejun Lee, and the representative of the undergraduates, Seonyoung Lee and Minsu Shin. Then, Vice President Junmo Cho and Dean Heejun Ahn delivered a gift of gratitude to President Seojin Chung.
President Seojin Chung said, “Only the ones who dream can change the world, make beautiful things more beautiful, and make new things more new.” He also added that he would carry on Hwashin’s business spirit by sharing with our school, which is taking a newer, greater leap forward to create a world that enriches human life.
