Ninety alumni from the entering class of 1964 returned May 12 to the Yonsei Business building to celebrate the 50^th anniversary of their graduation. The graduation anniversary activities also included alumni celebrating their 25^th anniversary.

YSB Dean Young Ho Eom welcomed the alumni back. “Now that we are predicting lifespans of 120 years, not 100, I will look forward to meeting everyone again at the 70^th graduation anniversary.”

Byeong Heon Goh, CEO of Kumbi (entering class of 1964, Business), chairman of the 50^th graduation anniversary ceremony, said, “It was a great opportunity to feel the love and support of the alumni toward YSB. I would like to express my appreciation for all the support from the participants in this event and wish all of them healthy lives full of love and joy.”
