A memorial space is open in Ajou's Dasan Hall until Nov. 18th for victims of the terror in France

2015-11-17


On November 17th, a memorial space was arranged in the western entrance of Ajou University's Dasan Hall in honor of the victims of the terror in France.


Three-color candles representing the French national flag and condolence flowers are placed in the space, and the monitor attached to the wall shows the French national flag and reads 'PRAY FOR PARIS.'


Starting from noon on that day, Professor Magali Plattet, who comes from France, and students from the Department of French Language and Literature dropped in to express their condolences, and President Dong Yeon Kim and members of the Academic Affairs Committee paid a visit to the place right after the meeting to lay flowers and pay a silent tribute. About ten students from Nepal, which was hit hard by an earthquake in April, also dropped by to mourn the dead.


About thirty French students are currently studying at Ajou in addition to Professor Magali Plattet, and no loss has been confirmed so far for them, direct or indirect, because of the terror.


Director Man Ghyu Pak of the Center for Korea-Francophone Countries Cooperation said, "Ajou has close relationships with France, because the University was established under the Technology and Culture Agreement between the Republic of Korea and France," adding, "I express heartfelt condolences for those who lost their lives in the terror in Paris and stand by the French people regarding the incident."


The memorial space is scheduled to be open until Nov. 18th.
