"Closing One Chapter, Opening Another"…

KUBS Student Ambassador KUBE’s 20th Cohort Farewell and 22nd Cohort Inauguration Ceremony 

The closing ceremony for the 20th generation and the inauguration ceremony for the 22nd cohort of KUBE (Korea University Business School Student Ambassadors) were held on Monday, March 31, at the Cuckoo Seminar Room in LG-POSCO Hall. KUBE is the official student ambassador group of Korea University Business School (KUBS), actively involved in planning and supporting various events to enhance the school’s reputation both internally and externally. The event was attended by Professor Eonsoo Kim, Dean of KUBS, Professor Hyun Seung Na, Vice Dean, and members of the 20th, 21st, and 22nd cohorts of KUBE. 

The ceremony began with congratulatory remarks by Dean Eonsoo Kim, followed by a report on KUBE's activities from the second semester of 2024 and a presentation of the activity plan for the first semester of 2025. Certificates of participation and prizes were awarded to members of the 20th cohort, and appointment letters and scholarship certificates were presented to the 22nd cohort. Scholarship certificates were also awarded to members of the 21st cohort. The event concluded with a group photo session. In his remarks, Dean Kim emphasized, “The paths you have paved will continue the tradition of KUBE and serve as a valuable foundation that connects your experience to new opportunities. In this meaningful year marking the 120th anniversary of Korea University, I hope your passion and dedication will continue to enhance the legacy and spirit of KUBS.” 

Following the speech, KUBE reflected on its activities during the second semester of 2024 and introduced its plans for the first semester of 2025. 
In the previous semester, KUBE carried out a range of activities, including the Fall 2024 Regular Campus Tour, the 10th Anniversary Homecoming Day, the 18th Youth Mentoring Day, ongoing campus tours, self-promotion initiatives, and protocol support. 

For the upcoming semester, KUBE plans to continue its efforts with a variety of activities, such as the Spring 2025 Regular Campus Tour, the 19th Youth Mentoring Day, KUBEmanza Season 5 — a themed annual interview series with KUBE alumni — along with continued self-promotion initiatives, ongoing campus tours, and protocol support. 

During the closing ceremony, Dean Eonsoo Kim presented certificates of participation to six 20th-cohort members who successfully completed their one-year term: Kim Min-Jin (Business ’24), Kim Se-Eun (Business ’24), Kim Yeon-Ha (Business ’23), Park Su-A (Business ’24), Yoon Je-Woo (Business ’20), and Jang Jun-Hyeok (Business ’24). Vice Dean Hyun-Seung Na also presented prizes, followed by individual photo sessions for each member. 

Next, during the inauguration of the 22nd cohort, Vice Dean Hyun-Seung Na presented appointment letters and scholarship certificates to six newly selected members: Kim Da-Jin (Business ’25), Moon Si-Hoon (Business ’25), Ahn Hyo-Won (Business ’24), Lee Chae-Woo (Business ’25), Im Jeong-Yeop (Business ’22), and Hong Jun-Seok (Business ’25). The 22nd cohort members were chosen through a highly competitive selection process that evaluated their school spirit, passion, written applications, interview performance, foreign language proficiency, and ability to create social media content. 

Finally, Dean Eonsoo Kim presented scholarship certificates to six members of the 21st cohort, who have continued to lead KUBE activities into this year: Kang Min-Ji (Business ’23), Kwon Na-Yoon (Business ’24), Park Seon-Yu (Business ’24), Shin Woo-Jin (Business ’23), Jeong Jun-Hee (Business ’24), and Cha Jae-Wook (Business ’24). 

Yoon Je-Woo (Business ’20), who served as the president of KUBE during the past semester, shared, “I constantly wondered whether I was a good fit for KUBE and whether I could contribute meaningfully as the president of such a prestigious organization. Thanks to the support of my professors and staff, I’m grateful to have completed my term successfully and to take part in this closing ceremony.” He added, “I hope my year as a member of KUBE was a meaningful one, and I wish the best of luck to the new members.” Kim Da-Jin (Business ’25), a newly selected member of the 22nd cohort, said, “Becoming a part of KUBE, which I had dreamed of joining since entering Korea University, fills me with excitement, nervousness, and a deep sense of honor. I will carry out my role with a strong sense of responsibility, as the face and voice of the Business School.”
