The Yonsei International Campus (YIC) continues its march towards becoming a major educational hub of Asia with the construction of new facilities. On April 22, a dedication ceremony was held at the YIC, marking the completion of the 1-2A construction phase and its seven new buildings. At the ceremony, Yonsei President Jeong Kap-young proclaimed that the “International Campus will continue to creatively adapt to the changing demands of a digital world, leading Yonsei’s mission of becoming an even more vibrant and global educational and research institution.” He stressed that the YIC, whose establishment is referred to as Yonsei’s “Third Founding” (after the founding of Jejoongwon in 1885 and the merging of Yonhee College and Severance Medical School in 1957), will be at the forefront of Yonsei’s efforts to provide a well-rounded education, enhance its status as a global institution, and promote cutting-edge interdisciplinary research. Completed in February, the 1-2A construction phase’s new buildings are the Underwood Memorial Library, Veritas Hall A, B, C, D, Wisdom Hall, and the Christine Chapel. The Underwood Memorial Library, located at the center of campus, is a state of the art facility, with a comfortable atmosphere for studying and the latest in information technology. Veritas Hall A has a main auditorium and several large-scale classrooms, while Veritas Hall B holds scientific laboratories and contains gallery space where students can display their artwork. Veritas Hall C offers other experimental laboratories for research and education in the fields of science and engineering. Veritas Hall D was designed for the College of Pharmacy, and it provides equipment rooms, laboratories, research offices, and a pharmacy library. The Wisdom Hall is equipped with a variety of study spaces where students can meet in groups and take part in different Residential College (RC) activities, such as seminars and club events. The Christine Chapel was named after Christine Kang, an alumna of Yonsei living in the U.S., who donated one million USD to the university. Elegantly designed, the Christine Chapel will embody the missionary spirit of the Underwood family whose first steps on Korean soil were in Incheon. In January 2014, the second phase of construction of RC dormitories on the International Campus will be completed. This will mark the full realization of the RC program, meaning that all freshman students will be participants in its holistic educational system
