“There are all kinds of thoughts running through my mind,” said Dr. Myung Oh, the Honorary President of SUNY Korea (former deputy Prime Minister) in his congratulatory speech for the 10-year anniversary of Incheon Global Campus (IGC) held on October 26th. Following on, Dr. Myung Oh emphasized the outstanding performance of IGC as he remarked that “the preparation stage for the establishment of IGC was definitely not smooth, but we were able to successfully attract and settle with 5 universities and a research center within IGC through the bold decisions and challenges for bigger goals.”
“We still need support and cooperation from many others for the bold decision of the establishment of IGC as the foundation for the development of South Korea,” requested Dr. Myung Oh.
As the first speaker of all 5 universities and a research center, SUNY Korea President Arthur H. Lee shared his impressions, saying that “SUNY Korea also celebrated its 10-year anniversary last June. I am filled with emotions as both IGC and SUNY Korea are celebrating their 10-year anniversaries together this year.”
President Lee further remarked, “We have achieved what once was believed to be impossible, and now looking back, the past years were a constant process of change and innovation. All of this was possible through close cooperation with IGC.”
As the year 2022 marks the 10-year anniversary of IGC, various events will be held from October 26th to 28th, including the Commemoration Ceremony, Panel Discussions regarding lifelong education in the IGC campus, and a Seminar on the Industry-Academia-Research Cooperation in IGC.
