On March 24th, a ceremony was held to present government awards to Ajou's retiring professors in the President's Office at the University. President Dong Yeon Kim delivered orders and certificates of award on behalf of President Geun Hye Park.
 
 
Three professors – Professor Dong Pyo Ju (Department of Chemical Engineering), Professor Tae Young Choi (Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering), and Professor Soo Ghee Oh (Department of Physics) – retired in February 2016. Professor Ju was appointed as a professor in 1979, and Professor Choi and Professor Oh began their service at the University in 1983. The three retiring professors received the Order of Service Merit (Green Stripes) in recognition of having spent 36 years in public service, including military service and teaching experience at other institutions.
 
 
According to the government standards for the presentation of awards, faculty members who have served for at least 33 years can receive the Order of Service Merit, and the Green Stripes are the fourth-highest grade after Blue, Yellow, and Red Stripes.
 
 
President Kim, Executive Vice President for Industry-Academia Cooperation Kyung Hee Choi, other vice presidents, and officials from Faculty Affairs Team of the University attended the ceremony to congratulate the retiring professors on their receiving the awards. President Kim commended their contributions to Ajou as he treated them to lunch, remarking, "I look forward to your continued service in the future as honorary professors for the development of the University."
