Overview of the Woodang Workshop
The Woodang Workshop has been operated since 2006, funded by a donation from the late Woodang Park Jong-gu, Chairman of Samkoo Co., Ltd., who graduated from the Department of Political Science and International Relations at Korea University. In 2006 and 2007, the workshop aimed to promote interaction and camaraderie among undergraduate and graduate students. Since 2008, it has involved inviting our department professors, honorary professors, and distinguished external figures to deliver special lectures on academic subjects or life lessons to both undergraduate and graduate students.
