First “Quant-people’s Night” Finished Successfully
The Department of Quant Applied Economics at the School of Economics held the first unity meeting after the establishment of the department under the name of “SKKU DQAE==The First Step Toward a Better Future” at the Plaza Hotel, Maple Hall on Saturday, May 23. It was an event that was finally achieved when the student council took lead for all preparations after the department’s first students continued to request a place of pledge and communication, that was being postponed due to the COVID-19 situation.
All of the students (32 students) from Quant Applied Economics attended the meeting, in addition to the dean of the School of Economics Il-joong Kim, dean of the Department of Quant Applied Economics Hee-jun Han, and the professors who give actual lectures such as Sung-hyun Kim, Jae-jik Kim, Chang-shik Kim, Min-soo Park, Doo-yeon Cho, Joon-mo Cho, Soo-sung Hwang, and Eun-jung Heo. Also, Geun-baek Lee, dean of the Department of Statistics, and Dong-won Lee, dean of the Department of Global Economics, as well as the assistants of the Economics College and the staff of the administration office attended the meeting and encouraged them.

In addition, while offering a toast to celebrate, Han Hee-jun, head of the department of Quant Applied Economics, said, “I highly appreciate the determination of the first students in the current program, as they bravely decided to enroll in the program, even if the Quant Applied Economics course had a big uncertainty, since it is the first time this new course is being attempted in Korea. When you look back on your career in the distant future, I sincerely hope that one of the best choices you have made related to your career was to participate in the 2020 DQAE course among many other decisions. I think you recently would have felt that after entering the university, it was not as easy as you expected to complete the course while working at the same time. However, I think it is a very valuable investment, so I ask you all to do your best until next summer. Of course, the professors and I will do our best for you, too.”

On the other hand, the College of Economics exerted every effort to take preventive measures due to concerns of COVID-19 infections, by actively fulfilling social distancing in a wide space (accommodating 100 people) leaving enough space between people (5 people seated in each table that is for 10 people), disinfecting the event hall, putting on masks, providing personal vinyl gloves, etc.
