Donation of 50 Million Won by Mrs. Hwa Young Lee, Daughter of the Late Professor Sang Hoon Lee
Mrs. Hwa Young Lee, daughter of the late Professor Sang Hoon Lee, made a donation of 50 million won to KUBS. Mrs. Hwa Young Lee is a daughter of the late Professor Sang Hoon Lee who was the very first Dean of Korea University Business School. She made the donation to commemorate her childhood memory on our campus with her father.
The donation ceremony was held on February 19 at the Dean’s office, with Mrs. Hwa Young Lee, KUBS Dean Soo Young Kwon, Byung Hoon Choi (trustee of vice president Si-yeoung Lee Commemoration Service Society), our emeritus professors △ Dong Ki Kim, △ Soo Sik Sin, △ Yoon Dae Euh, △ Ik Soon Cho, and Vice President of Development and External Affairs Professor Byung-Hyun Yoo.
They also had signboard hanging event, during which the School updated the name of Dean’s office to ‘Si Yeon’ Dean’s office. ‘Si Yeon’ was the late Professor Sang Hoon Lee’s pen name, meaning 'spread of good deeds'.
Dean Soo Young Kwon thanked each and every one who attended the ceremony, adding “I am sure we will be able to commemorate today’s event by updating the official title of Dean’s office.”
Mrs. Lee said “I clearly remember the days I spent time on campus with my father. KUBS is a very sentimental place for me, full of my childhood memories.” She added “I have been always wanting to do something meaningful when I look back. Thank you for opening up such a special ceremony, I feel grateful that I made another great memory on campus.”
Emeritus professor Yoon Dae Euh added “I deeply appreciate how the School has received lots of donations, it has become one of the School’s unique traditions. Thanks to all the contributions, we were able to contribute to KUBS students building up learning facilities. I would like to thank Mrs. Hwa Young Lee again.”
The late Professor Sang Hoon Lee was a Professor in Boseong College from 1935, and he was the first Dean of School of Commerce (Business School now). The donation will be allocated to support KUBS outstanding students.
