Celebrating the 80th Anniversary of the University

The campus of Pusan National University, celebrating its 80th anniversary, will bring together the cuisines, cultures, and youthful energy of countries from around the world in one place.

The School of International Studies at Pusan National University will host 'The 8th International Food & Culture Festival' on May 22 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the outdoor stage near the College of Economics and International Commerce building. The event will feature both international and Korean students.

This event is organized by the School of International Studies at the College of Economics and International Commerce of Pusan National University and is supported by the Office of International Affairs and the RISE Project Group. Around 2,000 participants, including 20 teams of international students from 17 countries such as Chile, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, Thailand, India, China, Spain, Yemen, and Egypt, as well as Korean students, are expected to take part.

Since its inception in 2015, the event has served as a global exchange platform where international students participate as representatives of their countries, directly introducing their traditional foods and cultures. Participants will share food and present traditional performances such as singing and dancing, allowing for a rich exchange of cultural experiences.

This year's festival is also expected to be a meaningful occasion, as not only international and Korean students but also faculty, staff, and local residents will come together to experience global cultures and strengthen ties and interaction between the university and the local community.

In particular, the 80th anniversary of Pusan National University is anticipated to further highlight its status as a global campus that connects the local community with the world.

Bae Yonggyun, Dean of the School of International Studies at Pusan National University, who organized the event, stated, "Thanks to the university's support this year, the scale of the festival has expanded to become a true cultural celebration for over 2,000 international students, Korean students, and local residents. I hope it will serve as an opportunity to spread a culture of global community through mutual understanding and communication."
