Ajou University’s entrance ceremony for the 2016 academic year was held at 10 a.m. on February 23rd in the University’s Gymnasium
 
 
The ceremony began with a report on academic affairs by Vice President for Academic Affairs Suk Chul Rim, the declaration of admissions approval by President Dong Yeon Kim, the pledge by the representatives of the entering class, remarks by President Kim, and a congratulatory address by the French Ambassador to the Republic of Korea.
 
 
Seong Jin Moon and Eun Gyeong Lee represented the incoming class of 2,056 students in leading a pledge. They promised to become Ajou people who will devote themselves to studying, have the courage to confront challenges, consider others, including the underprivileged, and contribute to making the society a better place to live in.
 
 
In his remarks, President Kim said, "You have become members of Ajou, which is a university on the forefront of change, and I would like to emphasize the values of 'taking on challenges and considering others,'" adding, "One of the most important things that you should do as a University student is to 'find what you really want to do.'"
 
 
He went on to say, "You should find your own dreams through a series of challenges and trial and error," requesting, "I ask that you always behave in a mature way as adults by considering those who are by your side and those who are weaker and more disadvantaged than you."
 
 
In his address, French Ambassador to the Republic of Korea Fabien Penone said, "I would like to congratulate you on beating the competition to enter Ajou University," advising, "I hope that you will enjoy your times at the University."
 
 
The entrance ceremony was followed by the Special Talk Show by Professor Yung Ho Cho (Department of Business Administration) and congratulatory performances by the cheering squad Centaur.
