Chosun Polytechnic University Supports Yeungnam Polytechnic University with 'Masks and Hand Sanitizers'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Chosun Institute of Technology is drawing attention by supporting Yeungnam Institute of Technology with masks and hand sanitizers to overcome COVID-19.

Chosun Institute of Technology announced on the 18th that it recently provided 1,500 KF94 masks and 100 hand sanitizers to share the difficulties faced by the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions, which are struggling greatly due to COVID-19.

The masks and hand sanitizers were prepared through donations collected from university members starting on the 16th by the Chosun Institute of Technology Faculty Council and the Chosun Institute of Technology Labor Union.

Yeungnam Institute of Technology and Chosun Institute of Technology are engineering-focused colleges representing the Yeong and Honam regions, respectively. Since their first exchange in 2013 in Hamyang, located midway between Daegu and Gwangju, they have maintained their friendship by traveling between Daegu and Gwangju annually through the "Engineering One Camp."

Chosun Institute of Technology President Cho Soon-gye said, “The Gwangju-Daegu region is also breaking down regional barriers between Yeong and Honam through the ‘Moonlight Alliance,’ sharing hospital beds to overcome COVID-19. Amid ongoing efforts across our society to share pain and strengthen support, I hope the heartfelt support sent by our university members will be well received by Yeungnam Institute of Technology students and help in overcoming COVID-19, even if just a little.”

He added, “The strong ties maintained with Yeungnam Institute of Technology so far have been a great help in overcoming the current difficult university environment. Once COVID-19 disappears, I hope we can take a step further together like brothers who care for each other through more diverse exchanges and cooperation.”
