On June 14, GSIS students headed out to Nami Island for a refreshing break from their academic routines.With clear skies and warm sunshine, the timing couldn’t have been better. After a short ferry ride, students arrived on the island and were welcomed by peaceful scenery and lively animals — including peacocks, geese, ostriches, and curious squirrels.They strolled through tree-lined paths, admired traditional hanok houses, and relaxed by quiet ponds. Some rented bikes and explored the island at their own pace, while others enjoyed trying out local food and snacks.It was a day of discovery, good company, and fresh air — a much-needed escape that brought the GSIS community even closer together.
