Dankook University (Chairman Hosung Chang) delivered KRW 28,484,950 in donations to Korea’s Red Cross on April 24th to support victims of the devastating series of earthquakes that shook Turkey and Syria in February.



Chairman Hosung Chang of the Dankook Board, DKU President Soo-bok Kim, and over 1,340 employees from the university and its hospital and dental hospital took part in the donation campaign. The funds will be used to provide emergency relief and support reconstruction work in the areas hit by the earthquake.

“I express my deepest condolences to the people of Turkey and Syria who have suffered greatly from the earthquakes and hope that this donation can extend some help to restoring their homes and comfort those who have lost much in their daily lives,” said Hosung Chang.

Dankook has continuously made donations to emergency relief areas at home and abroad, including the forest fires in Uljin and Gangwon, as well as for the war in Ukraine to practice the university’s guiding principles of truth and service by carrying out its social responsibility.
