In his remarks, President Dong Yeon Kim said, "As President, the most pleasant and happiest moments for me over the last year were when I met with you in person and we shared our concerns and thoughts," adding, "Today, I would like to mention failures and frustrations as you leave the University." 
 
 
President Kim went on to say, "You don’t have to worry about challenges because failures and trials and errors will not simply remain as 'painful memories,'" adding, "The University will 'feel responsible' for and stand by you until each and every one of you establish yourselves in respective positions."
