DONGDUK

동덕 가족이 행복한 대학을 꿈꾸며! 전통과 혁신을 바탕으로 새로운 100년을 열어갑니다.

Dongduk Women’s University was founded in 1908 by the late Dr. Cho Dong-Shik, also known as Choon-Kang, who was a pioneer in the national education of Korea. With a history of over 110 years, it has become a distinguished university to be a pride of all the members of Dongduk and an educational institution trusted by the society.

Under the founding principle, "Strong education towards women keeps the country solid,” Dongduk is educating next-generation professional women who promote and practice ‘virtue’ which is the best value of human nature around the world. I feel a grave sense of responsibility as the first graduate of Dongduk Women’s University who became the president of the university which boasts of a long history and a deep-rooted tradition.

Now our society is facing a new challenge of the 4th industrial revolution. In such a rapid change of the times, we will foster creative and emotional talent who will lead the times instead of being subordinate to the times by establishing education, university management and university culture using culture and art and with virtue as the core value as Dongduk has led the times being the first all the time.

Dongduk Women’s University will be awake and changing and be with you by realizing the value of virtue. We will be awake to realize morality, truth and harmony and cooperation; be changing to reinforce the competitiveness of majors and realize specialized convergence education; and be with you to contribute to lifelong education, support of foreign students and service to the local community. As Dongduk has done for over 110 years, we will walk a new path of Dongduk in the future.

We welcome you to Dongduk Women’s University and look forward to having your support and encouragement for the development of the university which is a pride for the education of women. Dongduk Women’s University will always be the first and the best. Thank you.

President of Dongduk Women's University Myoung-Ae Kim
