[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST, Jiseuteu) announced that on the 24th at 11 a.m., it held the ‘2021 Academic Year Entrance Ceremony’ at the Jiseuteu Oryong Hall Auditorium, attended by about 20 people including representatives of incoming students, representatives of presidential scholarship students, and key officials.

In particular, this entrance ceremony was scaled down by allowing only a minimum number of people inside the venue, similar to the previous graduation ceremony, to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Incoming students and parents who could not attend the venue were able to watch the entrance ceremony live through online YouTube streaming.

The ceremony began with an academic report by Kim Kang-wook, Director of Academic Affairs, followed by the declaration of admission permission by President Kim Ki-seon, and continued with the entrance oath and reading of the GIST spirit by student representatives: Ji Chang-woo (Physics, Doctoral program), Son Ji-min (AI, Integrated program), Kim Young-woong (Mechanical Engineering, Master’s program), Yustina Chrisceline Kezia (Materials Science, Master’s program), and Jeong Jae-woo (Basic Science, Undergraduate program).

Afterwards, presidential scholarship certificates were awarded to student representatives Min Ju-hong (Materials Science, Integrated program) and Kang Dong-woo (Basic Science, Undergraduate program).

President Kim Ki-seon said, “I hope that during your time at Jiseuteu, you will constantly ask questions and explore to design your own future, and I urge you to seriously consider how your future research activities can contribute to our industry and ultimately to the common prosperity of humanity. Jiseuteu will do its best to support you in growing into true global science and technology professionals.”
