Dear International Students,

We hope you all spent a relaxing winter break. The Spring Semester 2015 is about to begin, and we would like to use this opportunity to inform you about events and activities organized especially for the international community of the College of Engineering.

We extend a special welcome to the international members joining us in this semester. We are very happy to have you at our college, contributing to a growing international community on our campus and bringing in valuable expertise and ideas from abroad.

Please take note of and attend the freshmen orientation and pizza sharing party this coming Monday, March 2nd. After the freshmen orientation at 16:00, all international students of the College of Engineering are invited to the pizza sharing party at 17:00 in the Haedong building (32-1; details below). At this occasion we will introduce the newly appointed Student Exchange Coordinators from each department and their supporting staff so that you know who to contact should you have any questions.

Also this semester we will provide free Korean language classes for beginner and intermediate levels. The classes will start around middle of March, more details will be provided at the sharing party and by email.

Last but not least, please take note of the upcoming events this semester below.
