President Jang Young-Soo of Pukyong National University said on January 2, "This year, which marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of Pukyong National University, will be the first year of the innovative founding of our university."
The 2024 inaugural ceremony of Pukyong National University, marking its 100th anniversary, was held this morning in the conference room on the second floor of the administration building.
President Jang Young-Soo emphasized in his New Year’s address that day, "Let’s connect our university’s strengths and uniqueness with the region and the world and challenge all innovation plans, including integration, with an open mind."
He said, "Pukyong National University was born in 1996 through the challenging and innovative convergence and integration of two deep and large roots, and now, our university is leading the pioneering of high-tech industries based on its traditional strengths in marine, fisheries and engineering, and has been reborn as a global specialized university in name and reality that can travel beyond regions and countries and across the world."
Pukyong National University's representative achievements last year included being selected for a national project, education-related external evaluation, expansion of university facilities, innovation in the curriculum, and external and international cooperation.
Then President Jang Young-Soo pointed out, "Still, the external conditions surrounding the university are insufficient, and this means, universities selected for the Glocal University 30 project will continue to receive support at the national level, while universities that are not selected will receive limited support in all areas, including various government projects and facility support."
To overcome these problems, he explained, "We need to find a new driving force. Perhaps it will be a path we have not taken before, a new path, a not easy path, or a difficult path. But we must take these paths."
President Jang Young-Soo stressed his words, "Having already experienced the effects of great growth through past integration, I believe that we have the strength to take on any innovative challenge. The process of innovation ahead may be difficult, but the results will bring us greater pride."
At the opening ceremony on this day, awards ceremonies were also held for the development contributor, exemplary official, commendation from the minister of education, outstanding (new) staff of the year and for the 4th quarter, and award for outstanding security staff. <Pukyong Today>
