Connected Through 'Business' — 2024 Fall Semester Mentoring Day 
 

Korea University Business School (KUBS, Dean: Eonsoo Kim) successfully hosted its 2024 Fall Semester Faculty Mentoring Day on November 20-21. The event took place at the Cuckoo Seminar Room and Young Il Ahn Hall in the LG-POSCO Hall, where faculty advisors and students came together to share lunch and engage in conversations. Since 2007, KUBS has organized Mentoring Day annually to promote interaction between faculty and students. 

During the event, professors and students discussed topics such as academics, campus life, and career planning. Professor Kihoon Kim shared, “I couldn’t join last year as I was on sabbatical, but it’s wonderful to meet so many new students this time. While it’s hard to dive into deep conversations during the first meeting, it’s great to establish a relationship where students feel comfortable asking questions in the future.” 

Jaesung Kim, a Business major (Class of 2020), who spoke with Professor Kim, commented, “I entered university during the COVID-19 pandemic, took a leave of absence, and served in the military, so I didn’t have many opportunities to meet professors in person. It was great to have meaningful conversations this time.” Another student, Ji Hyang Ahn (Business, Class of 2024), remarked, “Talking with a professor reassured me, knowing there’s someone to rely on during my university life. It was also a great opportunity to meet students from various countries.” 

The event concluded on a warm and congenial note, leaving participants with a sense of connection and inspiration.
