Ajou University’s name bears an ambition to become
‘ the best university in Asia in the 21st century when Asia becomes the center of the world ’. Since its foundation, Ajou has pursued the following three virtues as guiding principles:
“Respect for Humans”,
“Seeking Truth from Fact”, and
“One World, One Family.” |
Respect for Humans (In-gan-jon-jung) This means high self-esteem with the respect for others. It is the first principle that Ajou pursues through its research, education, and public service. It teaches us to connect ourselves to our neighborhoods, nation and to the world through respect and understanding, regarding a human being not as a tool, but as an ultimate goal or a value.
Seeking Truth from Fact (Sil-sa-gu-si) Seeking truth from fact conveys the meaning that academic results should be useful in practice. It is Ajou’s most fundamental philosophy that seeking truth and academic research must be based on facts and their results should contribute to people’s welfare.
One World, One Family (Se-gye-il-ga) This is a spirit that emphasizes that the entire world should move in harmony. We must break through the small barrier of the Korean Peninsula and advance to the world, and at the same time accept what’s coming from the outside. This is Ajou’s foremost principle in educating the youth.

Academic excellence has always been, and will continue to be, the hallmark of the learning experience here at Myong Ji. We also endeavor to imbue our students with the noble Christian values codified in our Founding Spirit.

We have now grown to two campuses (one in downtown Seoul and the other in scenic Yongin), with 6 colleges (entailing 34 departments and divisions), a graduate school, and 8 specialized postgraduate programs. Graduates of Myong Ji, now 74,000 strong, continue to leave their marks in fields as diverse as Childhood Education to Computer Science, both here and abroad.

The success of our 'Research Park' and 'Research Academy' programs is a testimony to our continuing efforts to become the hub of advanced research and development.

Dankook University

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dankook_University
Dankook University is a private university in South Korea. The main campus was moved from Seoul to Yongin in 2007 and boasts technologically advanced classrooms, high-end facilities, ample dorm space and one of Korea's most aesthetically beautiful university campuses. Most of the original Seoul campus has been sold, but some graduate programs, recruiting programs, language programs and outreach programs are available in the remaining Seoul campus. There is an extension campus, which is located in Cheonan, a city in South Chungcheong province, and which sits on the face of beautiful hills and a lake. The Cheonan campus includes the largest hospital in the region and one of Korea's top dental programs, as well as the only 4-year Mongolian Language and Literature Department in Korea. The university hosts a student body of about 20,000, and employs an instructional faculty of about 630.
Motto
The Foundation of Dankook University
In 1911, Korea was suffering under the Japanese colonial regime. The founder of Dankook University, Mr Hyoung Chang (later Sir Beomjeong) quit his studies as a 20 year old, moved to Manchuria and joined the Korean independence movement in exile.
For the next 34 years, he braved many dangers in his fight for independence and worked closely with Mr Ku Kim, one of the leading figures in the Korean provisional government.
In 1945, when Korea regained independence, Hyoung Chang returned to his homeland. With his friend Kee-hong Park, Sir Beomjeong became convinced that Korea's future as a free and peaceful nation lay in educating its young people, and he dedicated himself to the task of opening a new college. Sadly Mr Park died before he could witness the establishment of Dankook University on November 3, 1947 - with his widow (Lady Hyedang Cho) and Sir Beomjeong Chang as co-founders.
Dankook then became the first four-year private college in Korea, and its co-founders were able to pass on their thirst for higher learning to many young Korean students.
Dankook University Mottoes
As champions of Korea independence and sense of nationhood, Dankook's co-founders took inspiration from Dankoon, the founder of Korea, and dedicated the university to the principle of humanitarianism. The mottoes of 'National Salvation', 'Independence' and 'Self-Reliance' became part of the university's identity.
The principle of national salvation took shape as Koreans began to enjoy their freedom from colonial rule, but realized the need to develop a new society based on the ability of its people.
Similarly, the motto of independence reflected the strong desire of all young Koreans to strive for a better future in a democratic society. Self reliance focused on each individual's need to maintain his/her integrity and competence, through devotion and diligence.
Dankook's Precepts
Underlying the three mottoes that became part of Dankook's identity are the twin guiding principles of 'Truth' and 'Service'. Truth governs the mind in our search for what is right and creates a learning environment that benefits all Dankook students.
Service dictates the actions that we take to pursue a better society for our neighbors, country and the world at large.
Educational Goals
The cornerstones of 'Truth' and 'Service', and the mottoes they produced, are the guiding principles of our university.
But in a rapidly changing world, Dankook strives to educate professional young people to make a greater contribution to Korean society.
The spirit of humanitarianism remains, and our study programs encourage initiative, practicality and benefiting humanity.
Dankook's Mascot
According to Korean mythology, the black bear represents Dankoon's patience and courage in overcoming ferocity. This mascot for our university symbolizes our efforts to continue the spirit of humanitarianism, and maintain the focus of Truth and Service in the minds of our students.
