The De La Salle Araneta University’s language center in the Philippines made a 100 million KRW donation to Dankook University’s development fund.
The ceremony to deliver the donation took place on Thursday, August 25th at the Jukjeon Campus with Joseph Hyun (Hyun Jongkwang), the director of the center, handing over the agreement letter to DKU president Jang Hosung.
Joseph Hyun, who leads the De La Salle Araneta University’s language center, entered Dankook University’s department of construction engineering in 1982. He took teaching courses during his college years and also served as a teacher before moving to the Philippines 16 years ago to work at the language center.
Hyun said that “my alma mater Dankook University is like a home to me. When I was in college and taking teaching courses, the university Recruitment Team found a high school teaching position for me which led me to a profession in teaching. Since then, I have been busy focusing on my work, but I have never forgotten my appreciation for the school.” He went on to say that “I always wanted to give something back, and it is a great pleasure to be able to make at least a bit of a contribution. I want to support the development of the university and above all, help fellow Dankookians currently in school to advance as future leaders.”
