Korea under the ideal of “National Salvation through Education”
to protect national sovereignty. With “Liberty, Justice, and
Truth” as its motto, the university has been committed to

intellectuals throughout Korea’s industrialization and
democratization. Now, the university seeks to realize a peaceful

institution, will fulfill its mission to advance mankind by
fostering pragmatic talent possessing creativity, innovative
thinking, and open-minded leadership. In addition, as a hub of
academic research, the university will strive to achieve

inclusiveness and fairness to those facing discrimination or
alienation.
