Current and Incoming Presidents in Perfect Internal and External Sync for the University and Society

Dongmyeong University President Jeong Hongseop and Next President Jeon Hohwan Foster Communication and Cooperation

Participate in Traffic Safety Challenge Relay, Active Campus Communication "We Will Nurture Talented Individuals"

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Jeong Hong-seop, president of Dongmyung University, and Jeon Ho-hwan, standing committee chairman of the Southeast Region Development Council and the next president, are harmoniously coordinating both internally and externally to foster communication for the development of the university and society.

The next president-designate Jeon recently recommended President Jeong to participate in the ongoing traffic safety campaign ‘Challenge.’

President Jeong Hong-seop gladly accepted the baton. Under the slogan “Stop once in school zones! Look both ways twice! Wait for 3 seconds! Prevent 4 dangers!” he participated in the Children’s Traffic Safety Relay Challenge hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety on the 19th.

In the challenge, President Jeong expressed regret, stating, “In the era of 24 million cars, about 12,000 traffic accidents occur annually in Busan alone, and among them, 300 to 400 involve children, meaning more than one child is involved in an accident every day according to statistics.”

President Jeong conveyed a heartfelt message, saying, “I hope a traffic culture that safely protects the future leaders will be established.”

The next challenge baton was passed to Han Soo-hwan, president of Dong-Eui University, Shin Ho-cheol, president of Busan Catholic University, and Lee Young-chul, chairman of Haegum Advertising.

Jeon Ho-hwan, standing committee chairman of the Southeast Region Development Council, is the ‘designate’ to become the next president of Dongmyung University. Although he passed the external challenge campaign baton to President Jeong, he will inherit the presidential baton from Jeong Hong-seop.

Amid the exchange of batons, the two ‘presidents’ firmly believe in addressing the university crisis caused by the decline in student population through communication and cooperation. A ‘hotline’ for exchanging experience and information on university development and management has already been established.

President-designate Jeon is preparing to assume the role as the 10th president of Dongmyung University, meeting and conversing daily with many internal members while promoting ‘Do-ing talents’ and more.

His goal is to make Dongmyung University one of the ‘Top 10 Small but Strong Universities’ in Korea within 10 years.

President-designate Jeon strongly stated, “My dream is to minimize knowledge-transmission-oriented curricula and realize innovation that cultivates practical ‘Do-ing talents.’”

‘Do-ing talents’ are characters who follow ‘MacGyver.’ Like ‘MacGyver,’ who tries various approaches and ultimately finds clever solutions even in difficult situations, they are hands-on and proactive.

They are practical talents who enjoy challenges and strive to find and overcome their limits.

President-designate Jeon has repeatedly ‘declared’ his plan to nurture talented individuals with ‘creativity (創發性)’ who reveal or achieve things that others have not known or done before.

Jeon Ho-hwan, the next president of Dongmyung University unanimously appointed by the Dongmyung Cultural Foundation Board of Directors (Chairman Seo Ui-taek) in early March, will officially begin his term after completing remaining administrative procedures such as the Public Officials Ethics Committee review.
