Greetings from the Dean

Welcome to Gwanaksa!

Recently, there has been a growing concern of individualism among college students. Gone are the passion and challenging spirits of a youthful community and the college has been reduced to a mere stepping stone to get a good job. Older generations are not free from this criticism, either. They have taught young students to compete for survival and indicated that getting into top universities is the only way to ensure success. This current situation urges the university education to put

emphasis not only on students' creative knowledge but also on building their character to be mature civilians in the society.Thus, we at Gwanaksa have been striving to fulfil such demands. Right now, Gwanaksa is accommodating more than 5,000 residents at the undergraduate, graduate, and family housing facilities. The graduate students housing facilities, especially, have been wellreceived by residents and others for its modern facilities and efficient operation, since its reconstruction in 2010. Moreover, this housing has been operated by very efficient management systems. Aside from improvements in our facility, we also put a lot of time and energy in providing a variety of education, cultural, and sports programs to residents. Moreover, its global and multi-cultural living environment that includes students from more than 80 countries should provide its residents a good international perspective and resources for international networking. This era and the world demand talents with intellectual excellence, creativity, and warm humanity. We hope that you can grow into such leaders with the assistance of Gwanaksa.
