GW-Korea University Partnership

The 2015 Korea University Partnership Reunion

 

The GW-Korea University Partnership program, established in 2011, supports the exchange of students between SEAS and Korea University’s College of Engineering. The program was made possible by the generosity of alumnus Simon S. Lee (MS ’05), who wanted to create a bridge between Korea University and the George Washington University.

A full list of student participants is posted below. Students from Korea University are denoted with an asterisk.

"Studying abroad at Korea University was the most enriching and eye-opening experience of my life. The friendships I made in Seoul will last a lifetime and I can't wait to go back and visit the city again! When you study abroad at KU there is a huge support system built in both in the US and in Korea through student mentors in Seoul and the alumni network back on campus at GW. As well as this, the scholarship from Simon and Anna Lee made my trip to Seoul truly possible."

“Words cannot truly describe how much fun and excitement I had studying abroad at Korea University in Seoul. From the KUBA buddies to the other international students, I have made friends from all over the world and we were able to experience how incredible Korea is together. I have made memories that will last me a lifetime and, if given the opportunity, I would go back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!
