[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] A historical exhibition hall where you can trace the 112-year history of Chonnam National University has opened.

The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Chonnam National University held an opening ceremony for the historical exhibition hall on the afternoon of the 23rd in the lobby of Agricultural Life Sciences Building No. 1, with about 40 attendees including Chonnam National University President Jeong Seong-taek, Alumni Association President Jo Seong-hee, Agriculture College Alumni President Choi Hee-dong, and Gwangju Natural Science High School Alumni President Choi Hee-gap, the college announced on the 27th.

The Agriculture and Life Sciences historical exhibition hall was created in the central lobby on the first floor of Agricultural Life Sciences Building No. 1 as the "Future Dream Hall," featuring symbolic icons for each of the 13 departments and promotional videos displayed on monitors, with introduction panels posted on the adjacent walls. The ceiling of the hall is decorated with glass to create a visual effect that makes the space appear much larger.

On the 1st and 2nd floors of the exhibition hall and in the alumni room, nearly 600 historical materials and collections are displayed, among which about 160 rare items allow visitors to see at a glance the changes in the school flag, motto, school song, as well as the evolution of the school emblem and badges.

Additionally, student activities, past principals and deans, and graduation photos are arranged together to help gauge the school's appearance in the faded past.

Along with this, 285 photos vividly showing the activities of the college's club "Youth Volunteer Society" from the 1960s to the present are also on display.

Furthermore, the alumni room exhibits memorandums of understanding and souvenirs with overseas sister universities, showcasing the global growth status of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

It is known that Alumni President Choi Hee-gap of Gwangju Natural Science High School greatly helped in collecting rare materials for the historical exhibition hall.

President Jeong Seong-taek said, "The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has always been with Chonnam National University in nurturing talent and creating values of the era," adding, "The historical exhibition hall, which reorganizes the long history and gathers it in one place, will inspire pride and self-esteem in all alumni and members."
