We would like to extend our heartfelt “thank you” to the Korea chapter for their chapter donation of $3,000. The generous wire transfer donation this month amounting to $870.32 towards student scholarship by Son, Jung-Sik is most helpful towards our goal of supporting EWC students worldwide. APEC Study Assoc. of Korea, President Lee Jeong Taik, did note that Mr. Son on several occasions did not want his donation publicized and considered his kind donation but “a small act of behavior”. Thank you Mr. Son and Mr. Lee for advancing the EWC’s student scholarship vision.

The Chapter responded very positively to the call for Chapter collaboration to support the Alumni Endowment Student Scholarship fundraising goal. The Chapter leader, Jeong Taik Lee, has enthusiastically forwarded the message to all Korea chapter members regarding the Student Scholarship fundraising goal and the need for Chapters to collectively collaborate in helping the Alumni Foundation and future student scholars. The report noted that Chapter members have been forthcoming in fulfilling their agreed financial donations to the Korean Studies at UH and recognized the need to support the EWC. The Chapter members are asked their respective positions on how best to support the Fundraising goal of raising $100,000 per year for 5 years. The direct result of Pres. Lee’s fundraising support: The Korea chapter received pledges of $1000.00 each from alumnus Professor Eung Sun Kang and Dr. Jung H.N. of Korea.
