he Yonsei International Campus (YIC) continues its

march towards becoming a major educational hub of

Asia with the construction of new facilities. On April

22, a dedication ceremony was held at the YIC, marking the

completion of the 1-2A construction phase and its seven new

buildings. At the ceremony, Yonsei President Jeong Kap-young

proclaimed that the “International Campus will continue to

creatively adapt to the changing demands of a digital world,

leading Yonsei’s mission of becoming an even more vibrant and

global educational and research institution.” He stressed that

the YIC, whose establishment is referred to as Yonsei’s “Third

Founding” (after the founding of Jejoongwon in 1885 and the

merging of Yonhee College and Severance Medical School in

1957), will be at the forefront of Yonsei’s efforts to provide a well-

rounded education, enhance its status as a global institution,

and promote cutting-edge interdisciplinary research.

Completed in February, the 1-2A construction phase’s new

buildings are the Underwood Memorial Library, Veritas Hall A,

B, C, D, Wisdom Hall, and the Christine Chapel. The Underwood

Memorial Library, located at the center of campus, is a state of

the art facility, with a comfortable atmosphere for studying and

the latest in information technology. Veritas Hall A has a main

auditorium and several large-scale classrooms, while Veritas Hall

B holds scientific laboratories and contains gallery space where

students can display their artwork. Veritas Hall C offers other

experimental laboratories for research and education in the

fields of science and engineering. Veritas Hall D was designed

for the College of Pharmacy, and it provides equipment

rooms, laboratories, research offices, and a pharmacy library.

The Wisdom Hall is equipped with a variety of study spaces

where students can meet in groups and take part in different

Residential College (RC) activities, such as seminars and club

events. The Christine Chapel was named after Christine Kang, an

Dedication Ceremony for Completion of 1-2A Construction Phase

at International Campus

T alumna of Yonsei living in the U.S., who donated

one million USD to the university. Elegantly

designed, the Christine Chapel will embody the

missionary spirit of the Underwood family whose

first steps on Korean soil were in Incheon.

In January 2014, the second phase of construction of

RC dormitories on the International Campus will be

completed. This will mark the full realization of the

RC program, meaning that all freshman students

will be participants in its holistic educational system.

YONSEI, where we make history

YONSEI NEWSLETTER MAY 20130203

he Yonsei International Campus’s Underwood Memorial

Library (UML) had its grand opening on April 1. Taking

its name from the missionary Horace Grant Underwood

(1859-1916), founder of Yonhee College, the UML aspires to

continue his mission of bringing positive change to Korean

society through Christian education. As the focal point of

education and research at the International Campus, the

UML can hold 170,000 volumes of books and journals, and it

is equipped with a variety of dynamic spaces, including the

Multimedia Center, Material Reading Room, Creative Reading

Room, and Group Study Rooms. A distinctive feature of the

UML is the absence of general reading rooms (which are,

instead, located in each of the dormitory buildings), allowing it

to function as a space for sharing information and knowledge

with others.

The UML is also designed to enhance collaboration and

communication between students. In addition to the Group

Study Rooms, there is a Community Lounge where students

can discuss and work on research projects together. The

Multimedia Center not only provides electronic resources

to facilitate student research, but it also has wide-screened

cinema rooms, media studios with a 7.1 channel surround

system, media production rooms, and editing rooms. The UML

also provides an outdoor terrace and rooftop garden, allowing

students to enjoy the pleasant weather in spring and autumn.

For the convenience of YIC students, most of whom live on

campus, the UML will operate daily from 8:30 am to 9:30 pm.

The UML also provides a 24-hour delivery service for books and

other materials that are held at the Yonsei-Samsung Library on

the Sinchon Campus.

On April 4, Yonsei President Kap-young Jeong and Oxford

University Vice Chancellor Andrew Hamilton signed the

Yonsei-Oxford Joint Declaration. The declaration solidifies

and expands student and faculty exchange programs, while

opening the way for further research cooperation between the

two universities. Yonsei and Oxford first signed an agreement

in 2008, leading to an exchange between Yonsei’s Astronomy

Department and Oxford’s Physics Department in 2010, as

well as the 2013 exchange agreement between the Oxford

Energy Economics Institute and the Yonsei Institute of East

and West Studies. The recent Joint Declaration is expected to

expand cooperation between these programs, enhancing the

exchanges, while providing the groundwork for collaboration

between the two universities in Yonsei’s 2014 International

Summer University Program, and for Oxford’s participation in

the Three-Campus Program Consortium in East Asian Studies.

On Thursday, April 4, Professor Andrew Hamilton, Vice

Chancellor of the University of Oxford, received an honorary

PhD from YonseiUniversity at a ceremony in the Chang Ki

Won International Conference Hall of the Yonsei-Samsung

Library. Professor Paul Tonks, associate dean of Yonsei’s Office

of International Affairs and an Oxford alumus, presided over

the ceremony. In addition to Yonsei President Kap-young

Jeong and distinguished Yonsei faculty and administrators,

British Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, Scott Wightman,

and Director of the British Council, Roland Davies,were also in

attendance.

During his acceptance speech, entitled “Broad Horizons: How

Universities can Survive and Thrive in an Interconnected World,”

Professor Hamilton discussed the importance of globalization

in higher education, a subject of great relevance to Yonsei and

its drive to become a world-class university.

“The most important benefit of globalization to higher

education,” said Professor Hamilton, “is not the chance for

universities to do something fundamentally new or different,

but the chance to do better the things we have always done,

the things that are core to educating you and the other leaders

of tomorrow in classrooms and lecture theatres around the

world.”

Professor Hamilton believes that a university serves three

core functions: research (the generation of new knowledge),

education (to teach and attract outstanding students),

and service (making a contribution to society beyond the

classroom). Each of these core functions, noted Professor

Hamilton, “can be fulfilled much more effectively in a university

with broad and deep international engagement.”

The Vice Chancellor made special mention of Yonsei’s efforts

to bring globalization to the campus and to enhance its

Oxford Vice Chancellor Touts Importance of Globalization in Higher Education

interconnectedness with the world. He specifically mentioned

the SAURON team, which brings together astronomers from

both Oxford and Yonsei to study the evolution of galaxies, and

Yonsei’sEnglish-language liberal arts program, Underwood

International College (UIC). In speaking of UIC’s residential

college program, Professor Hamilton said: “[F]rom Oxford’s

perspective, having a great deal of experience in the area,

I know that this method of teaching can vastly enhance a

student’s experience of University.”

Although he extolled the benefits of having an internationalized

student body, taking advantage of opportunities to work

and study abroad, promoting cross-cultural literacy, and of

enhancing global links to support outstanding research and

education, Professor Hamiltonsounded a cautionary note on

the potential dangers posed by globalization. In particular,

he warned: “while international links are a powerful tool to

strengthen a university, their single-minded pursuit can weaken

it if, as university leaders, we shirk the less-glamorous but

central job of cultivating excellence in research and education.”

Professor Hamilton concluded his address by offering students

advice about making the decision of where to go to study

abroad: “Think for yourself,” he advised. “Do not feel bound to

make the same choice of country or institution that your friends

or siblings or predecessors have made. The important thing is

to find the best fit for you - for who you are, for what you want

to study, and for what

you want to do.”

onsei University will establish the Integrated Social

Sciences Division (ISSD) and the Integrated Science

and Engineering Division (ISED) at Underwood

International College (UIC) in 2014. The introduction of these

interdisciplinary divisions at UIC is intended to foster creative

global leaders who possess a vital understanding of the ways

in which the humanities, arts, social sciences, and science and

technology converge in today’s globalized world.

The ISSD will offer four majors: Justice and Civil Leadership (JCL),

Quantitative Risk Management (QRM), Science, Technology, and

Policy (STP), and Sustainable Development and Cooperation

(SDC). The ISED will be geared towards students who seek to

pursue careers in the natural sciences and engineering, and

who wish to gain an interdisciplinary perspective on their field

of specialization. Its three majors will be Bio-Convergence,

Energy and Environmental Science and Engineering (EESE),

and Nano Science and Engineering. Each division will admit 70

students next March.

The ISSD will be part of UIC’s Humanities, Arts, and Social

Sciences (HASS) Field, along with the existing Asian Studies and

Techno-Art Divisions. Each of HASS’s divisions and majors will

focus on interdisciplinary approaches to regional studies, art,

business, the social sciences, and the humanities. UIC’s HASS

Field is the first of its kind in Korea, and its aim is to cultivate

individuals who are able utilize the broader perspectives and

frameworks that are a requisite in today’s workplace, whether

this be in the public sector, multinational corporations, NGOs,

or academia.

Established in 2005, UIC is a highly selective four-year liberal arts

college with an innovative English-only curriculum. It is Korea’s

most diverse and international college, with students drawn

from 48 different countries, including Korea. With the addition

of the two new integrated divisions, UIC will have nearly 500

students at the International Campus next March. The ISSD

and ISED will not only provide specialized, interdisciplinary

educational programs in an intimate environment, they will

also offer a variety of opportunities for domestic and overseas

internships, as well as student exchanges and mentoring

programs. Yonsei believes that these divisions will be capable

of competing with similar programs at the world’s leading

universities.

Y A Yonsei research team recently found a promising

method for alleviating the anxiety-related symptoms

of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) by using

ultrasonography (USG). The research team, led by Professor

Kim Chan-hyung (Department of Neuropsychiatry) and

Professor Chang Jin-woo (Department of Neurosurgery),

made the first attempts to treat OCD by projecting

ultrasonic waves onto a patient’s brain. The application

of USG succeeded in blocking the neural circuit in the

cerebrum thought to be responsible for the intrusive thoughts

and compulsive behavior that characterize this anxiety

disorder. While previous attempts to treat OCD have involved

psychosurgery and the implantation of electrical stimulation

devices in the brain, this experiment was the first to use the

noninvasive and precisely-targeted USG to treat the disorder.

The first USG procedure was done on a female patient with

severe OCD. This woman had a phobia of bacteria, which

resulted in frequent hand-washing and obsessive behavior

such as cleaning doorknobs before touching them and

spreading A4 paper across the floor of her room to make sure

no one contaminated it with dust and germs. Although she

fully realized that her behavior was obsessive, she could not

bear the anxiety that resulted when she failed to follow these

practices. Her condition was extreme, rating a 38 on the 40-

point scale of OCD, and she did not respond to treatments with

anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medications. Ultimately, her

anxiety related to the fear of contamination prevented her from

having a social life, which resulted in severe depression.

The brain USG device used by the Yonsei research team was

developed by Insightec Ltd., a medical venture located in

Israel. Using this USG device, researchers located the targeted

neural circuit through an MRI, and projected ultrasonic waves

onto the patient’s brain. While these waves cannot normally

pass through the bones of the

cranium, the USG device simultaneously projects ultrasonic

waves from 1024 locations, producing a greater level of heat

which, as the theory goes, results in greater brain stimulation.

After a month of USG treatment, the patient visited Severance

hospital to meet Professor Kim Chan-hyung. He was pleasantly

surprised to find her expression and demeanor much livelier

than before. In the past, the anxiety caused by her OCD made

her appear restless, and she had difficulty maintaining eye

contact. The change in her appearance was also reflected in

the numbers: her depression score returned to normal, while

her obsession score decreased by five points. While he was

delighted with the patient’s results, Professor Chang warned

against being overly-enthusiastic: “At this clinical test stage, the

brain USG has only been applied to two patients, so we need

to take these promising outcomes in stride.” “The procedure,”

he added, “will be applied to a larger number of Severance

Hospital patients, which, we hope, will demonstrate the

effectiveness of this treatment on a large scale.”

he dedication ceremony for the Avison Biomedical

Research Center (ABMRC) was held on April 10 at the

Yonsei University Health System (YUHS) Campus. In his

speech, President and CEO of YUHS, Lee Chul, said: “It is very

special that the Avison Biomedical Research Center is opening

almost exactly 100 years after the Department of Education

and Research was founded by Dr. Avison in 1914. The Avison

Biomedical Research Center will accelerate the research-based

medical industrialization policy that Severance Hospital is

intent on implementing.” The ABMRC, which is now the largest

biomedical research institution in Korea,

also contains a sizeable animal laboratory

and imaging center. The ABMRC

is envisioned as an international

biomedical research center, one that

will become a leader in medical

technology research, as well

as Asia’s foremost center for

animal experimentation.

The ABMRC consists of a number of general and specialized

laboratories, along with facilities for humanely and sanitarily

housing animals. In particular, the experimental animal

laboratory, which has a Bio Safety Level-3, contains 7,500 cages

for smaller-sized animals, 284 cages for middle- to large-sized

animals, 6 operating rooms, and an animal imaging center.

Other facilities include an electrophysiological room, a tissue

pathology room, an electron microscope room, and a radiation

laboratory. The animal imagining room is equipped with state

of the art technology, including MRI and micro-CT scanners and

equipment for hyperpolarization and optical in vivo imaging.

The ABMRC has also recruited world-renowned scholars.

These include Professor Lee Sur-koo, who serves as Director

of ABMRC, and Professor Back Sun-myeong. Professor Lee,

who has published some 350 articles in scientific journals,

established the phospholipase signal delivery system in the

1980s and 90s, and, in 1988, he discovered the antioxidant

protein peroxiredoxin. Professor Back is a globally-recognized

pathologist in the field of breast cancer research, who, in 2010,

received the prestigious Komen Breen Kerr Award.

Commercialization Convergence Research Center.

ICONS was established to encompass basic and applied

research, encouraging the convergence of interdisciplinary

research across Yonsei’s four campuses (Sinchon, Yonsei

University Health System, Wonju, and the YIC in Songdo,

Incheon). With 408 faculty members and researchers drawn

from all four campuses, ICONS’s 38 research centers and groups

will engage in creative and innovative convergence research

that will enhance Yonsei’s global competitiveness. To this

end, ICONS will foster cooperation and collaboration between

researchers in the humanities, medicine, Korean studies,

media art, and the social and natural sciences. To promote

coordination and communication between all its different

research centers, ICONS has set up a special office in room 721

of the Yonsei-Samsung Library. This office will have essential

information about each research center and its various projects,

while providing a space where researchers can converge and

share their ideas.

The Booyoung Group will construct a dormitory and donate it to

Yonsei University.

On April 15, Yonsei University and the Booyoung Group signed

an agreement for the construction of “Woojeongwon,” a student

dormitory building that will be located in the northern part of the

Sinchon Campus. Booyoung will donate Woojeongwon to Yonsei

University after completion.

The new dormitory is to be named “Woojeong” after the nickname

of Booyoung Group Chairman, Lee Joong-geun. With floor space

of about 6,612㎡ , Woojeongwon will be able to accommodate

around 415 students. The construction costs for the ferroconcrete

structure are estimated to be nearly 10 billion won.

At the signing ceremony, Chairman Lee Joong-geun said: “I hope

that the new dormitory building, Woojeongwon,

will help hard-working Yonsei students

from rural areas to realize their dreams.

I also hope that this project will

set an example for cooperative

relations between universities

and companies in the future.”

He added: “I expect the

Woojeongwon project

to be highly successful,

contr ibuting to the

educational goals of

Yonsei.”

Currently, Yonsei University provides dormitory housing for some

10,000 students. There are six dormitory buildings on the Sinchon

Campus (the four Muak Dormitory buildings, along with the

International House and the SK Global House), which provide

accommodations for 3,265 students. At the Yonsei International

Campus in Songdo, there are two dormitory buildings, which

currently house 2,786 students (additional dormitory facilities at

YIC will be completed next year), while the dormitory building on

the Wonju Campus accommodates 4,035 students.

The construction of Woojeongwon dormitory is just one of the most

recent construction projects undertaken by the Booyoung Group; in

fact, they have built dormitories, libraries, and sports centers for 130

schools and welfare institutions throughout Korea. The Booyoung

Group’s first donation project was at Neung-joo High School, where

they erected a dormitory. In 2004, the Group extended its projects

to 14 countries in the Asia-Pacific region,

including Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos,

Thailand, East Timor, Malaysia,

Papua New Guinea, Indonesia,

and the Philippines, building

around 600 elementary

schools. The Booyoung

Group has also begun to
