2017 Ewha Summer Project for Strengthening the Global Capacity Ended in Great Success

A variety of Faculty-led Study Abroad Programs, which strengthen the global capacity and allows students to experience a broader world, ended in great success. Approximately 150 enrolled students participated in the programs. Students had a meaningful summer vacation, engaging in collaborative classes or field exercises along with great scholars in universities or institutions around the world including Asia, the U.S., and Europe. Through 2017 Faculty-led Study Abroad Program under the specialization initiative of universities in the metropolitan area, 40 students in three groups conducted cultural exchanges, field exercises and research trips under the supervision of faculty. Also 95 students in six groups, sponsored by Ewha, had a meaningful time to strengthen the global capability and experience a broader world. There was also 2017 Get Global Ewha Program funded by the Advancement of College Education (ACE) program of Ministry of Education. A participating student said, “It was a valuable experience which enabled me to see what I had learned only by book in person.” Another added, “I met and talked with alumnae as well as various leaders working there and they gave me hearty advice on career development.” In order to foster talents as global leaders, Ewha has organized Faculty-led Study Abroad Vacation Program each year since 2008 and financially supported supervising faculty and participant students. Since credit is approved by the school if students take applicable courses during a summer/winter session or in the form of transfer credit, this program is popular with students.

Ewha Opens a Mobile Certificate Issuance Service, First among the Nation’s Universities

Ewha Womans University opened a new service on Sep. 11 (Mon.) which allows various academic certificates issued on the smart phone, the first of its kind in the nation’s universities. The new service makes it possible for users to get the issuance of various certificates including enrollment, graduation and transcripts anywhere at any time, a service fit for the current network environment characterized by the ubiquity of mobile devices such as smart phones, tablet PCs, and laptops. Before the new service, certificates were issued only from the certificate issuing machines on campus or on PCs connected to wired Internet. But with the new service, both current students and alumnae can get copies of certificates on their mobile devices, which can also be sent out via fax or email and be printed out. The service users are required to install “Ewha Home”, the university’s mobile application on their mobile devices or to upgrade their already installed one. Then, the certificates issued can be directly sent out by e-mail or fax multiple times. The fee is 500 won for the current students and 1,000 won for alumnae, the same rate for the existing issuance service on the Internet. The new service’s English version is also launched at the same time to offer foreign students global academic services.

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde Visits Ewha

Madame Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), visited Ewha on Thursday, September 7. Christine Lagarde is the first woman to be elected to be the head of the International Monetary Fund and a prominent figure who was re-elected to serve a second five-year term in 2016. She started her career as a French lawyer, then served as Minister of Foreign Trade, Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, and Minister of Finance before she was appointed to the managing director of IMF in July 2011. At 1:30 pm, the Managing Director and her delegation arrived at the campus, and visited Ewha Archives and then had a conversation with the Dean of the Graduate School of International Studies and the Dean of Global Affairs. From 2 pm, Ms. Lagarde had a panel discussion with 8 undergraduate and graduate students at ECC Lee San-bong Hall under the theme of “The Future of Korea’s Education System and the Role of Women’s in Society.” Sohn Jiae, a visiting professor at the Graduate School of International Studies of Ewha Womans University and former Bureau Chief of CNN Seoul, Korea presided over the discussion where 150 students participated as audience. After a series of discussions on various topics such as excessive learning time, overheated private education, education system focused on college entrance exam, work-family balance, and improvement of women’s status, Ms. Lagarde said, “If these kinds of efforts of talking about issues like education system of Korea and women’s human rights are continued, I believe there will surely be a slow but meaningful change.” Ewha is one of the universities that heads of state and global opinion leaders do not forget to visit whenever they come to Korea. Women leaders of the world, including the former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (2009), Chilean President Michelle Bachelet (2009) and German Chancellor Angela Merkel (2010) visited Ewha Womans University.

Dedication Ceremony for New Dormitory and Groundbreaking Ceremony for Ewha·Ottogi Childcare Center Held

Ewha Womans University held a dedication ceremony for its new dormitory and a groundbreaking ceremony for Ewha·Ottogi Childcare Center on August 30 (Wed.). The new dormitory successfully opened after the completion of its construction in August last year. The new dormitory consists of E-House, Ottogi Global House and ROTC Building. The new building can accommodate around 4,300 students including about 2,150 of E-House and about 430 of Ottogi Global House who are able to stay in the campus to dedicate themselves to studying. “Green energy” such as solar power and geothermal energy takes up 15 percent of total energy consumption of the eco-friendly building, and it has won an excellence award at the 35th Seoul Architecture Award this year. The dormitory was designed as a unit for occupancy, which is rarely seen in other domestic universities, to ensure that students can have their own private space while two to ten residents share one community space and learn mutual cooperation, consideration, communication and solidarity. Following the dedication ceremony, a groundbreaking ceremony for Ewha·Ottogi Childcare Center was held in the construction site near Asan Engineering Building. The employer-supported childcare center is built based on a development fund in three billion won raised by the well-known food company Ottogi in 2013. The construction of the childcare center is slated to be finished around May in 2018. Together with the newly built dormitory and the employer-supported childcare center, Ewha will take the lead in providing an outstanding education environment and creating an environment where a balance between work and family is maintained.
