GW-Korea University Partnership
The 2015 Korea University Partnership Reunion
The GW-Korea University Partnership program, established in 2011, supports the exchange of students between SEAS and Korea University’s College of Engineering. The program was made possible by the generosity of alumnus Simon S. Lee (MS ’05), who wanted to create a bridge between Korea University and the George Washington University.
A full list of student participants is posted below. Students from Korea University are denoted with an asterisk.

“Studying abroad at Korea University was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I've visited incredible places, made lasting friendships, and received wonderful support from KU's buddy assistance program; even the countless cafes I
explored all contributed to my memorable time there. I’m already planning to return to Seoul to reunite with the friends I made and create even more memories. Overall, studying at Korea University is an extraordinary opportunity, and I encourage everyone to take advantage of it.”
Karen Sales-Fuentes SEAS ‘27
"Do it, just do it, even if you’re majoring in engineering. Studying abroad at Korea University was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I met my lifelong friends from KUBA, and exploring Seoul together, along with other parts of Korea (aka Sokcho), became one of my favorite memories from that year. Seoul will forever have my heart!”
