Since our beginning in 1940 as the Kyung Sung Humanities Institute, founded on the educational ideals ‘Love, Christianity, Teaching of the People’ as well as our school motto ‘Creativity, Action, Virtue, Service’, we held our first commencement ceremony as Sejong University in 1979 and established our place as a true prestigious private institution.

With the dedication and hard work of our staff, students, and alumni, we have come to stand l tall and strong as a world-level prestigious university where Sejong students are fostered to become creative challengers that communicate with the world.

I personally believe it is a great honor and privilege to be able to stand here as the 13th President of Sejong University, although I do not take this mantle lightly. I bear with me the heavy responsibility and mission of navigating wisely through the difficult, ever-changing competitive environment that higher education is currently placed in.
