On Aug. 3, the late professor Kang Seong-wi’s family donated money to create a scholarship fund and the construction fund for building a new library.

Kang worked as a professor in the Department of Philosophy beginning in 1977, and taught German Philosophy and Ethics. He also won a national medal in 1997 for his contribution to the development of the state.

The Kang family honored his wishes and has created a scholarship fund of 100 million won.

President Kim In-chul said, “I promise to use it to build a fine library and to encourage students.”

The family of the deceased, professors from the Department of Philosophy and other school officials attended the ceremony.
