Incheon Global Campus (IGC) will host a special lecture event titled “Learn Bold, Lead Global” in collaboration with Sebasi Talk, a Korean lecture program modeled after TED Talks. The event will take place on Oct. 30 at 6 p.m. at the IGC Auditorium.

The event will feature five speakers delivering relay lectures under the themes of bold learning and global leadership. The speakers include Lee Gyu-tag, professor of cultural studies at George Mason University Korea; Lee Ho-sun, chair of Christian counselling and welfare at Soongsil Cyber University; Sam Richards, professor of sociology at Pennsylvania State University; Cho Yong-min, CEO of Unbound Lab Dev and former Google executive; and Han Jea-kweon, professor of robotics at Hanyang University and CTO of AeiROBOT.

Each speaker will connect the event’s theme to their area of expertise, offering insights to inspire participants. Advance registration for the free public lecture is available through the Sebasi Talk website or via the QR code on the event poster until midnight on Oct. 26.

“IGC has moved beyond its stabilization phase and is rapidly evolving into a world-class education hub,” said Park Byung-geun, CEO of the IGC Foundation.

“We hope this lecture will introduce IGC and its partner universities more broadly, while engaging citizens in shaping a shared future.”

The IGC currently hosts five international institutions: Stony Brook University and the Fashion Institute of Technology (both part of the State University of New York system), George Mason University Korea, Ghent University Global Campus, the University of Utah Asia Campus, and the Stanford Center Korea. Each institution offers the same curriculum and degrees as its home university, with academic programs managed directly by the main campuses.
