Lee Hwa-young, the daughter of the late Professor Lee Sang-hoon, donates 50 million won to KUBS
Lee Hwa-young, the eldest daughter of the late Professor Lee Sang-hoon, the first dean of KUBS, donated 50 million won for the KUBS development fund. The donation of the development fund was to honor the childhood memories of Lee Hwa-young, who was with her father at the school campus.
The donation ceremony, held at the Dean's Office on February 19, was attended by about 10 people including Ms. Lee, Choi Byung-hoon, Kim Dong-ki, Shin Soo-sik, Euh Yoon-Dae, Cho Ik-soon and Yu Byung-hyun.
A special ceremony to mark the name of professor Lee on the wall was also held on that day. In honor of the will of the late professor Lee, KUBS changed the name of the Dean's Office to "Siyeon Dean’s Office."
"I would like to thank all those who attended the donation ceremony," said Kwon Soo Young, Dean of KUBS. "By naming it as the Siyeon Dean's Office, many people who come and go to the office will remember today's donation."
"It is still vivid that I played at the Main Hall of Korea University after my father Lee Sang-hoon," Ms. Lee said at the donation ceremony. "KUBS is full of nostalgia from my childhood, so I feel somewhat more attracted." "While I look back on my life, I wanted to do something worthwhile," she said. "Thank you for your hospitality and I will remember today for the rest of my life."
"KUBS has a strong tradition of donation, so all three buildings on KUBS campus are built upon donations by alumni members," professor Euh said. "I thank Ms. Lee for joining the donation culture in the course of the school's development, and I hope this tradition will be maintained in the future."
The late professor Lee Sang-hoon served as the first dean of KUBS from 1946 to 1947, after becoming a professor at Boseong College in 1935. The fund will be used to foster future talents at KUBS.
