On August 25 (Fri) at 6:00 p.m., Korea University Business School (Dean=Professor Soo Young Kwon) hosted a retirement ceremony for professors dedicated to nurturing the next generation of scholars for a long time. The retirement ceremony was held by KUBS to celebrate and honor the retirement of the professors who poured out their endless love and passion for KUBS. Three retiring faculty members — Professor Seoil Chaiy, Professor Jin Kyu Lee, and Professor Kwan Hee Yoo — and KUBS professors attended the celebration.
KUBS Dean Soo Young Kwon said each of the three faculty members will be sorely missed. He remembered Professor Chaiy as “a living witness to the history of KUBS,” Professor Lee as “a leader in diverse fields,” Professor Yoo as “a mentor who taught complicated accounting theories at the level of students.” “Each one of you are the pride of KUBS,” Dean Kwon concluded. “As elders of KUBS, I have no doubt you will continue to play a pivotal role.”
The retiring professors’ love and pride in the university stood out in their poignant farewell speeches. “I truly enjoyed my life as a professor. Being a professor was a true vocation,” Professor Chaiy said. “It has been my privilege and honor to serve as a professor of Korea University for a long period of time.” As Professor Chaiy was extremely empathetic towards students who had concerns about their career paths, he plans to provide job information and help map out a career path for students after his retirement.
“I am currently finding a way to return the support I had received from Korea University,” Professor Lee said. “I will always keep in my mind that I was a professor of Korea University and will help people facing obstacles in varied ways.”
“21 years and a half – I have spent one-third of my life at Korea University. I was able to look back on my journey I have walked through,” Professor Yoo said in his farewell speech. “I believe one of my talents is teaching, and after my retirement, I will strive to produce the next generation of scholars using my unique talent.”
Meanwhile, Professor Seoil Chaiy, Professor Jin Kyu Lee, and Professor Kwan Hee Yoo joined the faculty of Korea University Business School in 1984, 1989 and 1996, respectively and retired from KUBS in August 2017. As of Fall 2017, the three professors will serve as professors emeriti and continue to contribute to the development of the university in different directions.
