The “Global CEO Special Lecture” was designed for students to learn business direction for the future, take advice from young leaders, and gain insights into business experience that CEOs of leading companies in Korea and worldwide went through.
“This class will allow our students to understand the reality of some companies and industries even better by meeting CEOs who are engaged in their own fields,” said Dean Kwon who also teaches the course. “As guests share their experiences and qualifications required as a global CEO, I anticipate that students can get help planning for their future career.
On March 2, the first lecture, titled “Act Like a CEO and Will Be a CEO,” was given by KUBS Dean Soo Young Kwon. Startup Crowd Y CEO Scott H. and CEO Choong-hee Lee delivered the second and third lectures, respectively.
