Locker Signup

2006-08-20T15:18:00.000+09:00

Yonsei GSIS:
"[FROM THE AUGUST 17, 2006 GSA EMAIL]

Dear GSIS Student:

Here’s the first of a handful of e-mails we threatened... er, uh mentioned. In fairness to the incoming students (and those returning from leave), we will unfortunately have to go through the ugly locker sign-up process again. ㅜㅜ However, we do want to give current students the opportunity to retain their lockers w/o the hassle of signing up anew. So, we give you the three Phases of the Locker Signup Process...

PHASE I – Locker Renewal

Beginning immediately, all current students (those who will be officially registered with GSIS for the Fall 2006 Term) who wish to retain their current locker may do so with an email [to gsa@yonsei.ac.kr] containing the following information:

Name
Program
Locker Number*
Mobile Phone Number
Email Address

* Many of you may not remember your locker numbers, so while it would be helpful for you to provide this information, this is not absolutely necessary.

Phase I will begin immediately and last until beginning the Phase II. Thus, cutoff for email renewal will be 11:59 p.m. Sunday, September 3.

[NOTE: This is not a time to change lockers, or sign up for additional ones.]

PHASE II – Official Signup

Beginning the first Monday of the Fall 2006 Semester (Sept. 4, 2006), an official signup sheet will be available on the 4th floor GSA Office. This is a chance for new and returning students to sign up for their lockers and for anyone who wishes to change lockers (that is, those who did not renew their old lockers) to do so. This phase must be done in person via the signup sheet and lockers will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.

PHASE III – Secondary Signup

This phase will begin 2 or 3 weeks after Phase II. This is an opportunity for those students who wish to sign up for 2nd or even 3rd lockers, if available, to do so OFFICIALLY. This is also an opportunity for GSIS graduates and those students will be on leave for the upcoming term and who might have use for NMH storage space to sign up as well. This phase must also be done in person via signup sheet, as well.

P.S. Please note that it is during PHASE II that locks will be removed. While we will make every effort to contact the previous owner and wait as long as possible before removing the locks, the timing of such removal will ultimately be left to the discretion of the new, rightful owner.

P.P.S. So that noone falls through the cracks, please spread this around via word-of-mouth. We realize that not every receives (or reads) these [blogposts] and we do not wish to catch any GSIS student off guard. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation and sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Welcome Back... Almost

2006-08-15T19:26:00.000+09:00

[From the August 14, 2006 GSA Email]

Dear GSIS Student:

I trust you are all enjoying your summer vacations and assume you share the same complaint (that it’s going by far too quickly). Can you believe the new semester is almost upon us? Yes, that’s right. Orientation for the Newbies is barely a week away (which means that the wet hot Korean summer is almost over).

There are a number of things on the horizon for the upcoming semester, so we won’t bore you with them all at once (instead, we’ll deluge you throughout the year ;-).

For now, we wanted to wish you an enjoyable “rest-of-the-summer” and ask you to stay tuned for announcements to follow. Smell ya later ^ ^

GSA ELECTIONS!!!!

2006-05-26T00:05:00.000+09:00

Hi all.

Below are the platforms for the two parties (1st Party is "Progressive Professionalism" and the 2nd Party is "2nd Party") that will be running for GSA executives for next semester.

Additionally, each party will be presenting their party platforms next Monday (May 29th) at 1pm on the 4th lounge in NMH. GSA will be providing free pizza and snacks, so don't be late!!!

Official voting will begin next Wednesday and will run through until Friday (June 2nd) at 5pm.

Very best,

GSA

President: Steven Elwood
2nd Semester, PIC, 2059085
Vice President: Ashley Ho-Yun Chung
2nd Semester, PIC, 1059021
Vice President: Sarah Sowon Yukari Choo
1st Semester, ASP, 1069005

Party Name: Progressive Professionalism

Platform:

The Progressive Professionalism party’s mission is to strengthen the professional qualifications of all GSIS students. We seek to do this by strengthening the GSIS network between current students, alumni, and local professionals as well as creating new, and reinforcing existing programs to make students more attractive to employers in all fields.

With several semesters worth of GSA and executive Finance Club experience we are the candidate team with the best leadership and organizational know-how to put ideas into action as well as the most qualified to strengthen the professional ties of this professional school

1) As current Vice-President and future President of The GSIS Finance Club we have experience bringing back former GSIS students to share secrets on how to crack into various industries as well as strengthening contacts.

We will expand these sessions into various career fields so that ALL GSIS students will benefit from a better professional focus by learning information that is pertinent to real life and can not be taught in any class.

2) We will work to allow any students to write a thesis, regardless of GPA, if they are granted permission by his or her program chair. There are many classes with varying degrees of difficulty for GSIS students to take among the 5 GSIS majors, GMBA, and other Yonsei Graduate Schools. We believe that students who wish to challenge themselves with harder classes should not be punished by being denied the opportunity to write a thesis.

3) We will work to make the health insurance options available to GSIS students equal to the health insurance options available to all other Yonsei graduate students.

4) We will work to make more cultural and intellectual events available to students rather than focusing solely on party events.

5) We will work to accommodate better access to the Korean Language Institute for KSP and foreign students so that all GSIS students can say with confidence that we can fluently speak Korean.

6) We will also work to accommodate better access to the Foreign Language Institute to accommodate ASP students that can not speak Japanese or Chinese before arriving at GSIS.

WHO WE ARE:

Simply stated, we are GSIS students, just like you. We’ve been in the trenches with you during midterms, finals, presentations, and the like. We’ve shivered alongside you through cold classrooms during the winter. We’ve had the same questions about some of the GSIS regulations as you. And now, we’ve been afforded the opportunity to help make your Yonsei GSIS experience that much better.

WHAT WE WILL DO FOR YOU:

Mainly, we will be there for you through thick and thin. We’ll lend you an ear for your questions and concerns. We’ll keep an eye on the powers-that-be and fight for you, the students. We’ll help bridge any gaps between you and (i) the faculty, (ii) potential employers, (iii) GSIS Alumni, (iv) other GSIS students across Seoul, and (v) anyone else who could help enrich your experience during your time here and brighten your future for your time out there. In short, we’ll do our best to represent you and do all that we can with the responsibility you entrust in us.

Our Platform

Our platform is your platform. Each of us has been involved in the GSA both “behind-the-scenes” and at each “scene-of-crime.” We’ve had the great fortune of working closely with the past and current GSA administrations. They have proved themselves as ambitious as they were industrious. But the bar they set presents us a great challenge. So we do not seek to reinvent the wheel. But where we can, we will round off the edges and take it on a fast ride to where you want it to go. Yes, we have ideas of what we’d like to see happen; but for now (and throughout our term), we’re more interested in listening to what you think we should do. So our ears are open to your suggestions. What did you like this time around? What would you do differently? How could your school life be made better?

Again, our platform is your platform. We make no empty campaign promises. We only leave you with this solemn pledge: we will not stop listening to your suggestions after this campaign ends. We will listen to your ideas throughout our service. Again, we’ve been in the trenches with you and feel your pain. We’re asking you send us to the front lines to fight your fight. So please, don’t forget to vote. Until then (and thereafter), we’re all ears and remain…

Very truly yours ^ ,^

"Midterm Report"

2006-04-24T05:53:00.000+09:00

With the start of the midterm exam period to begin this week, the GSA would like to take this opportunity to provide a "midterm report" to the student body of the events planned/executed thus far, and provide an idea of what lies ahead in the coming months.

Hopefully this post will provide a bit more transparency on the GSA's activities up to this point in the semester. Moreover, we hope to illicit some feedback in order to better serve the interests of the student body for the remainder of the semester.

Activities thus far:

Development of this graduate student association blog: the intent was to provide a forum to allow students to offer constructive feedback, sell/purchase books, and gather information on upcoming events & school-wide policy changes. Additionally, the GSA along with one of our very own students (Sam Kwon, 1st Semester IMP) were able to lobby the Dean and administration to secure funding to develop a new website that will be accessible only to current students, alumni and a select number of recruiters. The intent is to provide students with a forum for staying in touch and networking. Expect the beta version of the website to be out in May.
Membership Training (MT): in a break with tradition, the MT was hosted before the semester began in an attempt to allow students to avoid any conflicts with their studying and class schedules. We felt this allowed more students to join us and were surprised at the larger than expexted turnout and participation by incoming as well as current students (90 as opposed to typical 40-50 students every semester).
Kickoff Parties: this semester's Kickoff Parties were some of the most eclectic and widely attended. Who can forget the underground, urbany ambiance of the PIC's "Kickass Party"? How about the gathering of students that devoured plate after plate of meat at both the IMP and ITF parties? Or what about the more laid back atmosphere at the ASP/KSP Kickoff? Although every program had a little something different planned, two things seemed to remain the same throughout every party: 1) a certain member of the faculty having a blast with the students; 2) students having the opportunity to meet new folks and develop relationships that will have carried them throughout the rest of the semester.
GSIS Picture Wall: the intent of the picture was was to provide a place for the GSA to post pictures from events throughout the semester and allow students to post their pictures of GSIS related events for all to see and enjoy. We currently have pictures from the MT and Kickoff parties. Expect more pictures to follow.
International Cultural Event and Human Auction: the "Cultural Crossings" event was held in mid-April and was a great success in that it provided an opportunity to learn about and display many of the unique cultures and foods of the countries of students that are represented at Yonsei GSIS. The GSA, in coordiation with a number of willing volunteers and the CDC/ODAR office, worked hard to secure sponsors and media coverage, prepare country information briefs, cook food for the event, and execute the Human Auction. The even itself went towards raising approximately W10million to be donated to twin cancer patients at Yonsei's Severance Hospital.
Career Opportunities: the GSA has been working very closely with the CDC/ODAR office and faculty members to bring in alumni and recruiters to speak to students about professional development and career opportunities. A couple of speakers have already stopped by from the financial sector, with an alum working at a multinational firm scheduled to speak in early May. The CDC was also able to host a representative from the Washington Center to speak about government/non-governmental internship opportunities in the US. Be on the look out for more speakers to come.

Things to come:

MBA students from the National University of Singapore: Yonsei GSA will host an exhange event on May 6th at 12pm at NMH. 30-35 international MBA students from over 15 countries will be visiting Korean firms and the GSA has managed to arrange a meeting with these students for the mutual benefit of learning about each other's graduate programs and developing relationships. If you are interested in business, non-profit work or have plans to do any traveling this summer (i.e. - India, Singapore, China, etc.), please stop by for the two-hour lunch event to meet our guests and make some new friends.
"Spring Link 2006": the Spring Link party will be held on May 4th in Hongdae. Most schools have already picked up their tickets and posters, so don't miss out on this great opportunity to meet peers from other GSIS programs (SNU, Korea, Ewha, Sogang, Kyunghee). Additionally, the response from Yonsei Alumni has been phenomenal, as the GSA has already received a number of RSVP's for tickets. Finally, all funds raised from the event will go towards subsidizing the end-of-semester banquet.
Student Honor Committee: a draft proposal was made and the final details of the student honor committee and code of ethics is being completed. We expect this to be competed by the end of the semester.
GSIS End-of Semester Banquet: TBD

"Spring Link 2006"

2006-04-18T21:42:00.000+09:00

The 2006 "Spring Link" party will be held on May 4th, 2006 (a Thursday night, with a holiday on the following day).

Not only will this be a great opportunity to relieve some stress following the completion of midterm exams, but this event will also allow GSIS students from the many campuses throughout Seoul (i.e. - SNU, Korea, Ewha, Sogang) to “link-up” in a social setting and develop their personal, professional and social networks.

The party will be held at St. 102 (a three-story club with separate lounge and bar) in Hongdae.

Look out for the party fliers in the coming week and see your Program Representatives for tickets.

Finally, all proceeds will go towards subsidizing the end of semester banquet, so come by and have some fun!

(tickets will be available shortly!!!)

Signature Drive for Class Schedule Change

2006-04-01T11:52:00.000+09:00

The GSA is holding a signature drive to press the Yonsei GSIS Administration to change the following policies concerning class scheduling:

1) Revert back to the previous system of holding ONE three-hour class per week.
2) Offer more classes per semester so that students will not have to go outside of the GSIS to fulfill requirements (the Associate Dean has asked for possible course topics... please post your suggestions here)
3) Take more time and consideration when planning the actual schedule. We understand that the current system simply takes a professor's requested schedule at face value. We are asking taht classes be scheduled/planned so that there are less classes that conflict with one another.

There is a signature signup sheet in the GSA office on the 4th floor of NMH. Additionally, Program Reps will be carrying signature signup sheets with them in class and around school. Link up with a program rep to VOICE YOUR OPINION by signing the list.

Much thanks!

GSA Office

2006-03-18T23:55:00.000+09:00

In response to a question regarding use of the GSA office, the office is open to all GSIS students for general use. Access to the room (i.e. - those that have the responsibility of locking/unlocking the room), however, will be maintained by the GSA and the Program Representatives for the purposes of security (i.e. - computers, etc.).

Once again: the room is open to any and all students that want to hang out and occasionally check their email. The room and computers are, however, NOT for general studying (i.e. - writing papers) as there are reading rooms and a computer lab available to students.

Finally, as the room is open during most of the day, we only ask that students show the courtesy of respecting the "GSA Meeting in Progress" sign and refrain from disrupting our weekly meetings.

We hope that clears up some of the confusion on the room's function/use.

International Cultural Event and Food Festival

2006-03-09T17:40:00.000+09:00

The GSA will be hosting an International Cultural Event and Food Festival in early April. We are currently looking for volunteers to offer their culinary services (i.e. - cook food) for our festival to be held at the Global Lounge on the Main Yonsei Campus. If you have any ideas and would like to be a part of this event, please contact Jin Hartmann with the type of food that you want to prepare.

You do not have to be from the country that you are preparing the food for (i.e. - Korean students can prepare Mexican food, etc.).

All cookers will receive funding (money) from the GSA to prepare their dishes and all proceeds from the fundraising event will go towards benefiting a local charity at Severance Hospital.

Graduate Student Business Cards

2006-03-09T17:35:00.000+09:00

For those of you that missed the first deadline but would still like to order business cards, please submit your information (i.e. - full name in English and Korean, phone number, and email address) to your Program Representatives with payment of W15,000. The new deadline will be March 17 (Friday).

Lockers: Cleared

2006-03-09T17:32:00.000+09:00

If you did not sign up for a locker during the past week, then your lock was most likely cut off and contents removed. As a result, your "goods" (i.e. - books, folders, ntoes, etc.) are in teh GSA office on the floor.

Please stop by and claim your belongings. We will discard of them at the end of next week.

Yonsei GSIS Photo Wall

2006-03-09T09:41:00.000+09:00

The Yonsei GSIS Photo Wall is on the 4th floor of NMH (there are currently pictures from the Orientation and MT). We plan on putting up pictures from the various events throughout the semester.

The photo wall is open to all students to post their own pictures of school related events (whether they be from personal or school sponsored activities). The only thing we ask is that folks refrain from taking pictures from off the wall until the end of the semester.

Thanks and enjoy!

Yonsei GSIS Finance Club

2006-03-06T19:50:00.000+09:00

Do you want to find out what it takes to get a job in the financial services industry (i.e. - investment banking, sales-trading, corporate finance, etc.)?

How about gaining access to recruiters and professionals currently working in the financial services field?

Or do you simply want to learn more about the different career opportunities in finance?

If so, come out to the Yonsei GSIS Finance Club's First General Meeting this Thursday (March 9) at 6:30pm in Room 112, NMH.

We will discuss membership requirements, plans for the semester (i.e. - financial modeling course, resume/interview writing workshops, networking events with current professionals, etc.), elect club officers, and answer any general questions.

Busting the lockers

2006-03-06T19:09:00.000+09:00

The GSA will "open" all un-opened lockers on Tuesday once we secure a lock-cutter.

This gives folks one more day to remove their things from their old lockers.

This just in!!!

2006-03-05T15:27:00.000+09:00

There seems to be a glitch in the Yonsei Portal that is allowing some people to add/drop classes (as of 3:30pm, Sunday) before the official open date (Monday, March 6).

It's not guaranteed to work, but worth a try.

Good luck!

MT / SNU GSIS Meeting / GSA Cleanup

2006-02-27T23:46:00.000+09:00

Hey all,

The MT was a fanstastic success! We had about 90 students attend. The GSA's hope is that the friendships that were started during the MT will carry over to the regular semester and rest of the semester.

One note, we would like to request pictures and video footage taken by students from the MT. If you'd like to submit photos and video, please email the GSA President. Ideally, we would like the pictures and video on a blank CD. This will help us to more easily transfer the pictures for uploading to the website and would best allow us to edit the video for making a presentation.

On another note, we had our second meeting with the student council from SNU GSIS in Shinchon. We laid the groundwork for a plan to co-host an Intra-GSIS event later on this semester. If you have any suggestions for a possible event, please feel free to post your comments here.

Finally, we will be at school on March 1st at around lunch time for a Spring Cleanup of the GSA office. If you have time and would like to hang out and get to know us a bit better, please stop by for some cleaning up and lunch. For more information, email the GSA.

With that, we hope that everyone enjoys the rest of their break and look forward to seeing all of you at school and all the kick-off parties!

Rate Yonsei GSIS Courses & Professors!

2006-02-18T21:35:00.000+09:00

A new set of links (on the right side of this post) will be provided under the heading of "Professor and Course Evaluations".

As many students (both old and new) constantly have questions about specific courses (i.e. - the professor teaching it, workload, teaching style, etc.), these posts will serve as a forum for students to ask questions and share information about specific courses and professors.

As the "Comments" section will allow all individuals to maintain their anonymity, please feel free to ask the most probing questions (i.e. - "Does the course suck?") and offer your most candid opinions and "insider" perspectives on each course (i.e. - "No, it's a great course... if you like reading 400 pages a week.").

Buy/Sell New & Used Textbooks and Readers!!!

2006-02-18T20:36:00.000+09:00

As requested by a current student, we've provided links on this weblog for students to buy/sell textbooks at discounted prices from one another (look on the right-side).

As the syllabi and coursework for each class rarely changes from semester to semester, students are able to use books from the previous semester.

If you're looking for books for a specific course or would like to sell your used textbooks, please list the course title, semester taken, professor, textbook/reader and your contact information in the "Comments" section of the major program's blog (once again, the links are on the right side) so that people can contact you should they need to buy/sell a book.

The GSA hopes this will help the incoming (and outgoing) students save (recoup) money spent on class materials.

Scholarship Results!

2006-02-17T10:38:00.000+09:00

The following incoming students have been awarded a scholarship (straight from the GSIS website):

(name and amount in won)
CLASEN, RENATE 3,000,000
KIM, JENNIFER JIHYUN 3,000,000

Scholarship Results Release Date

2006-02-15T23:30:00.000+09:00

-------------------------Update---------------------------

The following message was received from the GSIS Scholarships Coordinator:

"I have received the results from the Committee this afternoon (Thursday, 16 Feb.).
It is being examined again, and will be processed by the GSIS administration soon.

As soon as the results are confirmed, I will post the results on the GSIS website.
It is expected to be annonuced by the end of this week."

The GSA will meet with the Administration tomorrow to see if there is anything we can do to expedite the process.

-------------------------Update---------------------------

The GSA recently contacted the GSIS Administration (specifically, the Scholarships Coordinator, Mr. Daniel Ko) and asked when they expect to announce the results. Additionally, the questions was raised as whether the Scholarship Committee could possibly get a sooner release date on the results.

As soon as we find out any additional information, we will post that information here.

Orientation Dinner Party

2006-02-15T23:22:00.000+09:00

The GSA was recently contacted by current students regarding the location of the dinner party following the New Student Orientation. Details are as follows:

Who: Open to all students
What: Dinner Party for incoming students
When: Feb. 21st (Tuesday) at 5pm
Where: 여우사이 이대점 ("Yuh-oo-sa-ee"). It is located near the East Gate (as soon as you head out the gate, make an immediate right-turn [almost a U-turn] and you should see the building on your left side. The address is: 서대분구 대신동 115-9). (http://www.seoulfc.or.kr/new/location/view.php?id=1406SM009402WID&here=search_cat)

If you have trouble finding the place, you can call the restaraunt at (02) 362-6287/8 or Jin Hartmann at 010-3382-3625.

New Student Orientation

2006-02-14T20:39:00.000+09:00

Calling all current students!

Do you remember when you were a wide-eyed freshman that didn't have the slightest clue as to what was going on at school?

Or how about when you unknowingly signed up for Professor _____'s course, only to find out that you would have to complete a paper, 2 midterms, 3 presentations, and then a take home exam?

What about when you realized two weeks into the semester that you shouldn't have hooked up with the first boy/girl you saw at Orientation?

Well, if that's you (or even if it wasn't) and you'd like to share from your wealth of experience, help the new students make the transition into becoming full-time members of the GSIS, or just want some free food, come out to the Yonsei GSIS Staff Orientation meeting/training event this Friday at 3pm on the 5th floor of NMH.

Although all program reps will be present, we would really appreciate folks from every major (especially the larger ones, like ITF and PIC) to show up and help us welcome the over 100 new incoming students that will be entering this Spring.

For more details, contact the GSA.

"Student Honor Committee"

2006-02-14T20:20:00.000+09:00

The GSA was recently notified by GSIS Administration officials and professors on the possible creation of a "Student Honor Committee".

The main purpose of the committee would be to "deal with cheating and other improper student behavior such as plagiarism."

Although nothing is yet final, we will meet with officials later this week to discuss the Administration's proposal and goals in creating such an organization.

As the elected representatives of the student body, the GSA hopes to fully and fairly represent the concerns of the students at the GSIS. Furthermore, it is our intent to do what is necessary to help maintain, and strengthen where necessary, the high academic and ethical standards at our school.

Should you have any questions or specific concerns, please feel free to contact the GSA or leave a comment with your thoughts/suggestions.

New Student Orientation

2006-02-13T16:55:00.000+09:00

Here's an update from the GSIS Administration:

"Dear Incoming Students: As you know, New Student Orientation, which will be held on Tuesday, February 21st, is fast approaching. It is critical that all incoming students be in attendance on that day.

Please note that new students cannot register for courses during the normal registration period, which began today (Feb. 13). New students will register for their courses on Orientation Day with the help of upperclassmen. For international students, student ID number and detailed instructions on paying tuition during the third payment period (Feb. 21st to 27th) will be sent by e-mail by the end of this week (Feb. 17).

----------------------Update-----------------------

"I Spent My Break..."

2006-02-08T21:22:00.000+09:00

... in Shanghai taking Chinese language classes?
... interning at a government agency / private firm?
... hanging around Korea and enjoy the freezing winter?

What have you been up to during the winter break?

The GSA would like current and incoming students to submit stories/updates of what they spent their winters doing. We're not looking for stories of founding hospitals in third-world countries or rescuing endangered species in Siberia. We just want to know how Yonsei GSIS students decided to spend their winter breaks (to include any and all weird, interesting and mundane activities). Some possible ideas are traveling, jobs, visiting places in Seoul, time spent with family/friends, etc.

We hope that these "I Spent My Break" posts will serve two purposes: not only will they be a great way to introduce yourself to the rest of the student body, but it'll allow the rest of us (losers who chose to do nothing) to live VICARIOUSLY through your experiences!

If you'd like to make a submission to be published on this weblog, please send a brief description of yourself (i.e. - name, major, semester, any other relevant information), what you did (i.e. - who, what, when, where, why, and how) and any relevant pictures (something you wouldn't mind showing your future in-laws!) to the GSA.

ITF Reunion/Gathering

2006-02-08T21:16:00.000+09:00

There is an ITF Reunion/Gathering this Saturday at 6:30pm in Shinchon. This is a great opportunity to meet with current as well as those ITF students that have graduated and since entered the professional world.

Meet at the Holly's Coffee shop at 6:30pm this Saturday (near the Yonsei Main Gate), as the dinner location is a Chinese Restaraunt right around the corner.

For more information, contact Edward at 010-3342-9665.

Inter-GSIS Event

2006-01-26T08:36:00.000+09:00

The GSA met with representatives from SNU GSIS's student council last night to discuss jointly hosting an Inter-GSIS event this upcoming semester.

The event would be open to all GSIS programs in Korea (i.e. - Korea, Ewha, Sogang, etc.). As most of the students from the vairous programs have similar career and personal interests, the main purpose of the event would be to provide a forum for students to interact and network with each other.

Although we discussed a number of possible activities that we could host (a sporting event/tournament, academic forum, international cultural show, establishing a web journal with student contributors, party, etc), we would like your feedback and suggestions.

Photographers Wanted!!!

2006-01-24T23:47:00.000+09:00

The GSA is looking for a student that would like to be the official photographer for all school and GSA related functions.

The individual chosen to be the student photographer would receive a scholarship/stipend for the spring semester.

If interested, send an email to the GSA with your name, semester, major and three reasons why you should be selected.

*UPDATE*

Applications deadline is February 10, 2006.

Student Health Insurance

2006-01-20T10:17:00.000+09:00

The issue of student health insurance for international students has been debated for some time. Although a proposal was submitted previously, due to bureaucratic red-tape at the larger university, the idea never came to fruition.

As the only graduate school to lack such free access, many GSIS students are without health insurance and access to low-cost health care. The GSA, however, is currently working with GSIS, university health, and Yonsei school officials to grant access to low-cost health insurance for our international student body.

We hope to have the proposal approved before the start of the spring semester. If approved, this will not only directly benefit our international students but the larger student body as well as it will go toward smaking the GSIS more attractive to the most highly qualified prospective students.

More updates will follow on the ongoing process.

Welcome!
