SUNY Korea returns to in-person classes Dear SUNY Korea Students, SUNY Korea’s COVID -19 Taskforce met on Wednesday, March 30, 2022, to review our current status. Following a comprehensive review, the committee has decided to end the two weeks of temporary online classes and return to the original mode of instructions, starting Monday, April 4. Please make the necessary plans to return to in-person classes as before. Furthermore, the committee has decided that larger classes that were being taught online will continue to be online. However, they can have in-person exams. Instructors of those classes will inform you if any exams will be in person and will provide the necessary information to you promptly. These decisions are based on our contingency plan since our reported infection rate is well below 5%. Also, as before these decisions are in full compliance with government regulations. Our main goal is to enhance your educational experience with paramount concern for your health and safety. All of the class management rules and policies remain as before. Please review them here again http://www.sunykorea.ac.kr/sk/announcement As before you are required to report any infections to your instructors immediately with proof of a positive test (RAT or PCR) taken at a medical facility. This is required in order to be excused from in-person classes for seven days of the quarantine period, which begins on the positive test date. During this period your instructors will accommodate you by providing all of the necessary information and resources to you. Managing COVID 19 requires the cooperation of all of the SUNY Korea family. We believe that with precautions that we have in place attending in-person classes will not cause additional risk of infection, yet substantially enhances your educational experience. However, we ask you to follow our regulations and be vigilant both on-campus and off-campus to protect your health and that of your community. With the continued lowering of COVID -19 restrictions by the government, it is particularly important to be cautious during off-campus activities since they are much less regulated. Thank you for your full cooperation and please send any questions or comments to covid19report@sunykorea.ac.kr Regards Hamid Hefazi, Ph.D., Provost and VP for Academic Affairs

Message from the President March 18, 2022 Dear Our Campus Community, The year 2022 marks the 10th year of SUNY Korea – a moment in which we reflect on our past triumphs and look forward to growing further as a higher education institution. Great minds and forerunners once dreamed of a mere idea of creating a truly international campus where competitive academic programs of world’s renowned universities are offered. By the work of many, the mere dream started to take shape in late 2000 and became the reality we can see and touch through the long-awaited establishment of SUNY Korea in 2012. As the first American university established in Korea, SUNY Korea had to navigate through countless challenges to gain foothold with a single vision in mind – fostering leaders who can rise up to challenges of our time – and now, 10 years later, we begin to bear witness to the fruits of the journey. SUNY Korea’s student body has grown from dozens in 2012 to 1,336 as of Spring 2022, where over 40 countries are represented, across 5 departments from Stony Brook University and 2 departments from Fashion Institute of Technology, and it is set to expand its program offerings with an addition of the Department of Electric and Computer Engineering in Fall 2022. At the moment, over 500 SUNY Korea alumni are located around the globe, each making their own unique impact. SUNY Korea will have a 10-year celebration week on the 3rd week of June 2022 where the SUNY Korea community – students, faculty, administration, and staff – will come together to celebrate it with officials from the State University of New York, Stony Brook University, Fashion Institute of Technology, Korean government offices, and others joining us throughout the week. The week will be decorated with various events including an academic symposium, a fashion show, the Spring 2022 Commencement, and student events. It is such a privilege to find ourselves in this unprecedented moment to honor the past, celebrate our present, and envision our future. Please join us and celebrate the year together. Truly yours, Arthur H. Lee President of SUNY Korea
