On April 28th, the KUBS (Dean= Kim Sang-yong) held a Dean's Luncheon event for outstanding students at the LG-POSCO building KUKU Hall. The event was organized to congratulate students who achieved a GPA of 4.5 second semester of the 2022 academic year and to provide an opportunity to communicate while enjoying lunch with the dean and associate dean of the KUBS. The event proceeded in the following order: △Welcoming speech by the Dean and Associate Dean of the Business School △Introduction of attendees △Awarding of certificates △Taking commemorative photos. About 35 people attended the event, including Dean Kim Sang-yong and Associate Dean Kwon Sung-woo, who enjoyed lunch together with the students. 

Dean Kim Sang-yong stated, "I am proud of you, who have achieved such a meaningful accomplishment as outstanding students with extraordinary will and passion for your studies," and added, "As the dean, I will spare no effort to support you in pursuing your big dreams." He also gave heartfelt advice, saying, "I hope that achieving a perfect score of 4.5 will remain a happy memory for you," and encouraged students, saying, "A 4.4 or 3.8 score does not hinder your life at all. I hope you continue to pursue your university and social life steadily with pride that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to." 

Associate Dean Kwon Sung-woo also delivered a speech. He said, "If you continue to obsess over achieving a 4.5 score, you may miss out on other important elements of your life," and encouraged students, saying, "I believe that in line with the educational philosophy of Korea University, you will become excellent students who grow with others, not only through your grades but also through other aspects of your life." 

Oh Ju-yeon (Business Administration '22), who attended the event, said, "I had a lot of difficult times last semester trying to focus on my grades, but every time I did, I dreamed of myself as an exchange student in Japan and persevered." She added, "I have applied for the Global Leader for the East Asian Century (GLEAC) interdisciplinary Major this semester, and I will continue to make steady efforts in various fields." Ryu Han-bin (Business Administration '19) expressed his gratitude, saying, "I am truly honored to be invited to such an honorable event," and added, "I will do my best for the remaining two semesters."
