New Year’s Greetings from Rhee, Sang-ghon, Dean of SKKU Business School
Finishing an eventful past year, I give greetings for the New Year now upon us. I hope that all families are filled with happiness and achieve everything desired. Along with that, it is my wish that the economy revives and everyone is able to make their dreams come true in the New Year.
Looking back on last year, although the society was a little unsettled inside and out, the Business School promoted change and reformation. As a result, the School has succeeded in taking powerful steps toward becoming a global business school. Last year was very meaningful in that SKKU Business School firmly established its position as a Big 4 Business School in the 2009 Business School Evaluation. This provided an opportunity to widely demonstrate our potential and excellence.
In addition, the School acquired international accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB-International) as a first step toward becoming a global top 50 business school. Also of mention, nearly 800 Business School alumni gathered together in celebration of our School’s 50-year anniversary for the Night of Business Alumni held at the Shilla Hotel on October 14th. This event retraced the history of the Business School, and alumni resolved to help SKKU Business School make a leap toward becoming a globally recognized business school. All these achievements are the precious fruits of the alumni who are actively working in various social areas. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the alumni once again.
It is the beginning of the New Year 2010. Many events are waiting ahead of us. I believe this year is the right time for SKKU Business School to share our scheme for development and to unite with the alumni to jump up to worldwide prestige.
Among many pending issues, I will focus on enhancing the status of SKKU Business School by raising research outcomes to international levels through the improvement of our research environment and structure to boost professors’ competence for the development of the School. Moreover, the School will consistently extend its exchanges with prestigious overseas universities to provide a global mindset and high quality education to students. We will try to activate MOU contracts and exchanges with those universities to achieve our goals and to invite famous foreign scholars and professors to provide international-level education. Above all, I am asking our alumni to give consistent encouragement and support, while I will be making my best efforts to make this year a monumental year for SKKU Business School.
Take care and happy New Year to everyone. Thank you.
S. Ghon Rhee
