Meeting with the representative from Sangmyung University (South Korea)

At the meeting, Dr. Kim Chonghee briefly introduced about Sangmyung University - one of the high-ranking universities in South Korea. She expressed the desire to increase cultural and academic exchanges between the two universities, especially between Sangmyung University's programs such as family welfare and Korean language education and USSH's Sociology and Social work. She also suggested introducing the "1+1" master's program in Korean Studies.

On behalf of USSH's Board of Rectors, Assoc.

The Vice Rector also hoped in the future the two sides would hold international conferences together.
