President Jung is congratulating about the organization of UNIST Alumni Association.
President Jung said, “It is a very meaningful event since we launched an official alumni organization for the first time. After relaunching as the government funded national research institute last year, UNIST has been trying more actively to communicate and develop in every section. Please do not forget that UNIST is always behind you and will be in your heart forever.”
Dean Bien presented about UNIST development fund and asked alumni for participating in fundraising event. He also talked about the cases of other famous schools such as Stanford University, M.I.T, and University of Michigan-Ann Arbor to explain how actively their alumni are engaging into donation programs for their schools’ development.
