In all, 11 students were selected as new members. They will have two years of specialized education abroad and two years of education domestically in order to further their talents and versatility.

Student Kang Tae-seok voiced his determination, saying, “I always do my best with every task, and I will do my best here also. I want to improve on my weaknesses through various activities in the Honor Society, and want to become the best in my major, Mechatronics Engineering.

Student Um Seong-bin said, “I am grateful that I can study with the best professors, seniors, and students from different departments. After I finish my campus life, I want to be able to tell my own story.”

The Honor Society is a program which educates international leaders, fostering creative thinking, communication, and love of volunteering

Summary of President Jekuk Chang’s Special Lecture at the Initiation Ceremony:

1.     Cherish yourself.

When you wake up in the morning, shout, “I am precious. I am so beautiful. / I am so handsome. I can do it.”

2.     Try to find your talent.

You don’t need to focus only on studying. Like the popular singer PSY, you should find what you are good at.

3.     Dream big.

We can fulfill everything if we dream big. If you dream small, the actual achievements become small. Think universally, like Uber.

4.     Try continuously to fulfill your dream.

If you are just dreaming, it’s merely an illusion. You need continuous effort to achieve your dream.

5.     Pursue new things.

Just imitating cannot make you improve like Facebook or Google. Therefore you should pursue new things continuously.

6.     Sincerely hope and pray.

In order to achieve something, you need eagerness.

7.     Draw your own picture on a paper, not another person’s picture.

I hope you have the courage to live life remaining true to yourself, and not merely to live the life that others expect of you.
