Lee Jeong-woo, CEO of U Green Culture, Inc., donated 100 million won as development funds to the university “to support training for outstanding student athletes.”
A DKU alumnus decided to support the university to help in achieving greater recognition in university athletics and to help students who are studying and training at the same time.
This alumnus is Lee Jeong-woo (CEO of U Green Culture, Sports Science Class of ‘05) who runs a sports marketing and promotions business. Lee visited President Chang Ho-sung on Sep. 7 and donated 100 million won as development funds to raise the value of university athletics at Dankook.
Lee, who graduated from Sports Science in 2005, has been continuously supporting the university with consistent interest even after graduation while running his business. Especially, he has been continuously supporting our university’s women’s basketball team, which is composed of general university students (who are not supported athletes) as a supporting director and has been providing vehicles and various products as needed.
Thanks to Lee’s support, our women’s basketball team has begun to achieve noticeable results like entering the semi-finals in the WKBL Women’s University Basketball Competition of 2012 and 3rd place in the National Tournament.
Lee didn’t stop there and decided to continuously support non-sports major athletes who study and train simultaneously.
“To accomplish top honors in university athletics, consistent interest and support is needed not only for sports majors but also for non-sports majors,” said Lee in the donation presentation ceremony. “I will support them so that they can become outstanding athletes who study and train simultaneously.”
President Chang Ho-sung appreciated Lee’s kindness, saying “Lee’s precious contribution will encourage the sports spirit and increase the value of university athletics.”
U Green Culture, Inc. operated by Lee is a company that conducts promotion activities like sports marketing, events and exhibitions. It also does promotions through performances and plans promotional events for local self-governing groups, government offices, associations, etc. It also handles programs related to corporations and plans boat parties and hotel dinner shows.
