Future universities should teach leaders how to manage social transformations, especially those that arise from technological innovations. Universities should also teach leaders to think strategically when confronted with crises. To do this effectively, we need to break away from traditional lecture-based education and move toward active learning, where knowledge and skills are conveyed and nurtured through productive interactions among professors and students.

We are standing at a critical juncture in human civilization. The climate crisis—driven by industrial civilization—poses a grave threat to our survival. Meanwhile, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is ushering in a new Intellectual Revolution. Amid escalating tensions between the United States and China, the Korean Peninsula has become a key flashpoint in the global struggle for hegemony.

In response to these unprecedented challenges, Taejae University is firmly committed to cultivating:

• Global leaders who contribute to harmony between East and West,
• Future trailblazers who build a more sustainable society, and
• Self-driven innovators who will lead the era of lifelong learning in the 21st century.

Through innovative education, we strive to nurture individuals equipped not only with knowledge, but also with the power to act and create impact. Let us join forces to fulfill this vital mission. Thank you.

Universities must rapidly evolve in order to cope with the “tsunamis” that are confronting them, such as the revolution in AI and advances in longevity. In this current age of great social upheaval, universities must integrate a wide range of knowledge with the so-called soft skills.

Universities can flourish only if they train future leaders to innovate so that they can confront unpredicted challenges, communicate effectively, and make a strong commitment to help create a better world.

I hope and believe that Taejae University will become a model for universities of the future and will be the international leader in innovations in higher education. I am a passionate advocate for Taejae University!
