Administrative Director Kyoo-hwan Kim of UNIST, Han Seok Nam of General Affairs team, and President Gwang-Su Jang of the Ulsan Community Chest of Korea were among the attendees at the donation event, held in the Ulsan CCK building in Namgu, Ulsan, South Korea.

“We would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to collect and donate your generous grant for the people in need,” President Jang of the Ulsan CCK says.

UNIST has been planning, organizing, and participating in a variety of events to help the unpriviledged.
