The United World Korean Women (UWKW) visited SUNY Korea on October 9th. On this day, SUNY Korea President Arthur Lee and Vice President for Administration and External Relations Pyung Ryun Yu met with United World Korean Women President Hyojung Lee and Secretary General Seyoung Park. Approximately 90 UWKW members toured the university's educational and research facilities and engaged in discussions about potential areas of collaboration between the two organizations.
The United World Korean Women is a global network of Korean women actively engaged in various fields across the world, working to promote women’s empowerment and enhance their opportunities. Many of the delegation members emigrated in the 1970s and 1980s, making significant contributions to Korea’s development during challenging times while pursuing successful careers abroad. Among the members were those who had worked as nurses in Germany, along with other professionals in countries such as the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.
SUNY Korea places great emphasis on the value of “Shared Prosperity,” living in harmony with others. Many years ago, South Korea was also a nation receiving help from many international countries, and now South Korea has developed to the point that it is capable of supporting developing countries. As an American university in South Korea, SUNY Korea shares its prosperity by selecting outstanding students from developing countries and providing scholarships for them to be able to receive high-quality education. In return, these students are empowered to become ‘History Makers’ who try to contribute to the advancement of their home countries. The delegation expressed strong agreement with these values and with exploring future possibilities for sustaining exchange and cooperation based on shared principles.
President Arthur Lee remarked, “We are delighted to host such a distinguished group of Korean women leaders from around the world. I hope that this visit will not only strengthen the collaboration between our institutions but also lead to opportunities for broader global partnerships.”
