A homecoming day event for Ajou's admitted class of 1985 was held on the afternoon of November 7th in the University Gymnasium.


The event, which began at 4 p.m., was attended by about 180 graduates, and about 120 people from the University, including their professors, President Dong Yeon Kim, and professors with administrative positions. The event kicked off with a campus tour, followed by welcome remarks and an introduction of Ajou's development directions by President Kim, a congratulatory message by President Beom Jae Lee of the General Alumni Association, a progress report, the delivery of the University development fund, and a congratulatory performance. After the official event, the graduates had separate meetings by department and discussed the significance of the event.


President Kim introduced the University's development strategy - Ajou's Great Turning -, saying "The University professors, staff members, and alumni put their heads together and worked hard to create the strategy. Hence, I ask that the alumni join hands with the professors, staff members, and students to accomplish the goals in the strategy."


President Lee of the General Alumni Association said, "I am glad to see the admitted class of 1985 work closely together to prepare this event," and Chairman Yeong Seop Son (Department of Computing, admitted class of 1985) of the Homecoming Day Organizing Committee said, "I am thankful that many people have participated despite the bad weather. I hope that today's event will be an opportunity to solidify our affection for and commitment to the University for another 30 years."


During the event, the admitted class of 1985 delivered 10 million won to support the ‘After You Program’ and promised to donate 100 million won to the University development fund.
