SUNY Korea Hosts Spring 2025 Convocation for 167 New Students   SUNY Korea successfully held the Spring 2025 Convocation Ceremony on Thursday, February 20, 2025. Prior to the ceremony, from February 14th to the 19th, the New Student Welcome Week (NSWW) took place, offering the students a variety of activities to learn more about the school and build connections with their peers.  This spring sees the introduction of 167 new students representing seven countries – South Korea, the United States, India, Japan, China, Canada, and France. SUNY Korea has now welcomed students from 70 different nations since its inaugural class in Fall 2014, a testament to the global spirit of this institution. The ceremony featured a welcome address by President Arthur Lee, followed by a congratulatory speech from Carl Lejuez, Provost and Executive Vice President of SBU. Key events included the student oath, scholarship awards, and the SUNY Korea pin ceremony.  In his welcome address, President Lee stated, “As you set out to achieve your dreams, do not be afraid of failure - failure is part of the journey. When setbacks come, learn from them, adapt, and keep moving forward. Welcome to the start of an extraordinary adventure. Dream big, work hard, and make this journey unforgettable.” During the ceremony, 64 students were awarded with scholarships, recognizing their outstanding achievements and potential. SUNY Korea remains committed to providing extensive scholarship opportunities to ensure that talented students can pursue their education and research without any financial barriers. Following the Convocation Ceremony, the newly enrolled students, from Applied Mathematics and Statistics (AMS), Business Management (BM), Computer Science (CS), Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), and Technology and Society (TS), will start their first day of the Spring 2025 semester on Friday, February 21.    February 21, 2025
