It is a great honor and pleasure to deliver a welcoming speech to the new students.
Given the gravity of covid situation, my speech today will be very brief.
We have different purposes in our lives. I guess you decided to come to our GSIS for different reasons. I respect those differences. However, no matter why you decided to come to Sogang GSIS, I want you to give your 100 percent during your school years at Sogang. No matter what you want to do with your lives after you graduate, no matter what kinds of life you want to live after you graduate, you need to learn how to make good faith efforts and give your 100 percent. Making good faith efforts and giving your 100 percent is what I want you to learn during your school years at Sogang.
Sogang GSIS is a great place. All of us at Sogang GSIS are here to help you to grow and learn, to build upon the wonderful foundation that your parents have given you. We will do our best to make your time at our GSIS as rewarding as possible and enjoyable.
Covid has brought testing times not just to students but also to staff and faculty members alike, but let’s put in our best efforts to make our time here rewarding and enjoyable.
May your time here bring you challenge, growth, excitement, passion, opportunity, and fulfilment.
Welcome to Sogang GSIS!
Dean Jaechun KIM
