Q. The donation must have been a big decision. I wonder if you had any special motivation.
In 2017, I was the 9th president of the E-MBA Alumni Association, and although it was a short period of time, I had a glorious time to serve my school and students. While looking for meaningful work to improve E-MBA, I have come to contribute to the development fund with the will of many of our alumni members.
Q. Please tell me how you feel about the donation.
Since this is the start of the E-MBA Development Fund, many of our alumni members raised funds with their utmost efforts. We sincerely hope that this donation will help Korea University and E-MBA to move forward. I will also continue to support our school with interest and affection.
Q. What's the secret of the E-MBA alumni’s affection toward KUBS?
I think affection is amplified by the pride that KUBS E-MBA is one of the top E-MBA courses and the experience of being a passionate member of the best E-MBA. Although history is not very long we boast that the tight network and affection among colleagues, seniors and juniors is by far the best compared to E-MBA courses around the world.
Q. Please give some advice for the juniors.
The E-MBA course has high opportunity cost; not only in tuition, but also in time and effort. While knowledge and business know-how you learned during your studies may be important, I believe that the real value will be derived based on how well you can use it in your business or your job area after graduation. I advise you to actively take advantage of the intimate network of our alumni association, and hope you to actively participate as if you were the owner of the network.
