[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Seoul National University of Science and Technology announced on the 23rd that it held the 'Professor Bang Hyeja Love Development Fund Donation Ceremony' on the 18th at the president's office on the 12th floor of the Techno Cube building. Professor Bang, who generously donated the scholarship this time, felt sympathy for students who have to split their study time to work part-time jobs to cover tuition and living expenses, and planned to save 1 million won monthly from her salary to donate upon retirement. The money saved over more than 10 years has now reached 100 million won. The development fund will be used as scholarships for students facing financial difficulties over the next 10 years, specifically for students in the Department of Computer Engineering. Professor Bang was appointed as a professor at Seoul National University of Science and Technology in 1985 and has been teaching for about 34 years and 10 months until August this year. Her retirement ceremony is scheduled for the 28th. Professor Bang said, "The strong support from my husband and daughter, who willingly helped and shared the intention without any opposition to donating a considerable amount, was a great strength."
