[16.06.14]
 
 
Republic of Korea (ROK) Air Force Chief of Staff Kyeong Doo Jeong visited Ajou University to encourage students in the Department of Defense and Digital Convergence. The Department was launched last year under the related agreement between the University and the ROK Air Force.
 
 
Upon arriving at the University on the morning of June 14th, Chief of Staff Jeong and other officials met with Ajou's President Dong Yeon Kim in the President's Office.
 
 
Also in attendance at the meeting were Director Gwang Soo Lee of the Division of Information and Planning, Chief Secretary Ok Cheol Shin, and Head of the Education Policies Section Jeong Hyeon Choi, Head of Command and Management Section Yeong Chae Kim, and Head of Protocol Section Yong Gu Hwang from the Air Force. Executive Vice President Kyung Hee Choi, Dean Jung Yol Jo of the College of Information Technology, Professor Tae Yeong Kim (former Defense Minister), and Director Jae Sung Lim of the Department of Defense and Digital Convergence joined them from the University.
 
 
The meeting was followed by a presentation on the operation of the Department of Defense and Digital Convergence by Director Lim. Students who enter the Department receive a full scholarship from the ROK Air Force for the four years they attend the University. In exchange for the scholarship, after graduation the graduates are required to serve as officers in the ROK Air Force for seven years. After that period, they are able to choose between remaining in the military, moving to defense businesses or defense related research institutes, etc.
 
 
Chief of Staff Jeong then met thirty-nine students – freshmen and sophomores – from the Department and discussed life in and the future of the ROK Air Force. At the end of the event, he shook hands with each and every student and distributed books as gifts.
 
 
Chief of Staff Jeong said, "I trust the expertise and experience of Ajou's faculty members," adding, "I expect that the students at the Department of Defense and Digital Convergence continuously develop their talents and join the Air Force after graduation."
