Sejong University appoints Samjong KPMG partner as adviser for international accreditation

The School of Business Administration at Sejong University has appointed Hwang Jae-nam, partner at Samjong KPMG, as an adviser for its efforts to maintain accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), a leading global accreditation body for business education. The university said Thursday that Hwang’s appointment will support the school in securing AACSB reaccreditation, adding that it is preparing for the next reaccreditation review in 2028. Sejong University’s School of Business Administration was among the first private universities in South Korea to earn AACSB accreditation in 2007. Since then, it has maintained its accreditation through three consecutive reaccreditation reviews in 2012, 2017 and 2022. The university expects Hwang’s extensive industry experience and professional expertise to contribute significantly to the school’s long-term development strategy, curriculum enhancement and industry-academia collaboration efforts. It also anticipates that he will play a crucial role in helping shape educational strategies that reflect in

Jeonbuk National University institute makes notable results in addressing regional issues

Jeonbuk National University's Institute for Regional Development has emerged as a key regional think tank and implementation hub for addressing local challenges and fostering strategic industries, the school said Tuesday. The university set up the institute in 2023 to build a cooperation framework among government, industry, academia and research institutions as part of the government-led “Glocal University 30” project designed to support 30 selected universities located in nonmetropolitan areas. The university said the institute has created a region-specific implementation system centered on local hub research centers, including the Namwon Development Institute, the Wanju Research Institute and the Iksan Animal Healthcare Research Institute. It added that the implementation framework integrates policy research, business support, industry collaboration and strategic responses to government-led development projects. “Our university is closely connecting policy, industry and businesses so that it can serve as an implementation platform that goes beyond academic research,” said Yang

Former Korean envoy to Russia stresses importance of balanced diplomacy

Lee Do-hoon, former South Korean ambassador to Russia, emphasized the importance of balance in diplomacy in a lecture held last week at Kookmin University. “The essence of diplomacy lies in reconciling differing interests and finding practical common ground,” he said during the 668th Special Thursday Lecture organized by the university on its campus in northern Seoul on May 28. The school said Tuesday that in his lecture on Korea-Russia relations, Lee discussed how to view the bilateral ties amid rapidly changing global dynamics, while highlighting firsthand observation and analysis as essential tools for understanding international affairs. “International affairs cannot be viewed through a simple lens of good and evil. Therefore, we should consider the historical backgrounds and interests of individual countries,” a university official quoted Lee as saying. Lee cited the changes in Korea-Russia relations following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine as an example, underscoring the importance of balanced diplomacy and strategic judgment.
