-18 students and faculty working together and sharing friendship with Pukyong National University students
  

18 Columbus State University students and professors visited Pukyong National University for 13 nights 14 days and exchanged their thoughts and experiences with PKNU students.

During the visit from May 23 to June 5, they participated in ’PKNU-CSU Joint Study Program (a joint academic program between PKNU and CSU).

Professor Patrick Hogan at CSU and Professor Jonguk Ha at PKNU led the students, grouping the students from CSU and 21 students from the College of Business Administration at PKNU into 8 groups, and taking part in various programs.

Starting with a special lecture by Professor Kwonsoon Choi of the Division of International Commerce, PKNU, they exchanged knowledge on their respective major through group discussion and presentation.

They also had an opportunity to visit historical sites such as Kyongju, and experienced Samulnori and other cultural activities. In addition to that, they went on a field trip to Hyundai Motors at Ulsan, Hyundai Heavy Industry at Ulsan, and POSCO at Pohang in order to have a glimpse at industrial development in Korea.

"It was a very unusual case that foreign students stayed for such a long time for academic exchange," said Professor Kwonsoon Choi. "In order to provide academic exchanges with international students, we are planning to expand exchanges with other international universities," he also said.<Translator ; Park Si Hyeong, heartfulmind@naver.com>
