On August 23, SUNY Korea signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (SMOE) to promote the development of talented students. The signing ceremony was attended by President Arthur Lee, SMOE’s Director of Education Policy So-yeon Joo, and other key representatives from both institutions. The MOU aims to strengthen cooperation in education and research, paving the way for various initiatives to nurture young talent.
A key aspect of the agreement is the introduction of a special admission program aimed at providing scholarships and educational opportunities to academically gifted students facing financial difficulties. The program will offer a pathway for these students to receive a global education and grow into future leaders.
President Lee expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, "We are delighted to have this opportunity to discover and educate more outstanding students through our partnership with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education. We look forward to launching diverse programs together to contribute to the growth and development of these students."
Director Joo, speaking on behalf of Superintendent Hee Yeon Joe, emphasized the significance of the MOU, saying, "This agreement will serve as a stepping stone for high school students in Seoul to gain invaluable global education. The introduction of the ‘Social Integration Admissions’ program is especially meaningful as it aligns with Seoul's educational vision of realizing ‘Innovative Future Education of Coexistence, Where Diversity Thrives.’"
This collaboration marks an important step for SUNY Korea, providing more inclusive and global education opportunities for students in the Seoul area.
