Silla University Student Lee Woo-sung Donates 1 Million Won Earned from Part-Time Job to University Development Fund

Lee Woosung, a senior in the English Education Department at Silla University (Class of 2016), donated 1 million KRW in development funds to the university, leaving only his final semester remaining.

The development fund donation ceremony was held on the 15th at 3 p.m. in the small conference room on the 6th floor of the Silla University Main Administration Building. President Heo Namsik, student Lee Woosung, Dean Eom Gyeongheum of the College of Education, and Department Head Jeong Hyunkyung of the English Education Department attended.

During his time at school, Lee Woosung participated in various on-campus programs, including volunteering for educational activities in Paraguay. With hopes that programs beneficial to students will continue to thrive and enhance the capabilities of future teachers, he decided to donate 1 million KRW earned through part-time work.

Lee has great ambitions to become a globally successful educator and is preparing for an overseas internship through the K-Move project to gain diverse experiences. Like his role model Dale Carnegie, he expressed his commitment to continuously contribute to the development of his alma mater, Silla University, not only through donations but also in various other ways.

Lee Woosung said, “Looking back on my school life with only one semester left, participating in the educational volunteer activities in Paraguay greatly helped me develop my abilities. The on-campus programs were a significant growth experience for me, and I hope that other students in the College of Education who dream of becoming future teachers will also benefit from many opportunities at the university and continue to develop their capabilities.”

He added, “Although there are many recent issues related to teachers’ rights that are disappointing from the perspective of aspiring future teachers, I hope education will not stop and will continue because of the students. I send my encouragement to both current teachers and future educators to stay strong.”

Dean Eom Gyeongheum of Silla University’s College of Education said, “I hope Lee Woosung’s love for his school will be conveyed to all students at our university, becoming an opportunity for everyone to take pride in their school. As dean, I will take an active interest and provide full support for Lee Woosung’s successful future.”
