Ho Yang Kang (강호양) Yeungnam University Material Science and Engineering I am currently a Junior at Yeongnam University in Material science and engineering. During first and second years of college, I did volunteer work where I taught underprivileged and students who could not complete high school.

From this program, I hope to increase my ability as a member of the global community and learn how they solve world problems especially the social education equality. 
YongSung Kwon (권용성) Hankuk University of Foreign Studies International Studies As a student majoring in division of international studies and an individual pursuing possible career in the global society, I am honored and privileged to be a part of United Nations College Leaders Program. Throughout many years I have had chances to experience and study various topics regarding international relations and SDGs. In 2016 I worked as a member of student ambassadors for ASD: Korean Association supporting SDGs for the United Nations. For approximately three months I was able to build my experience regarding UN SDGs. Our activity included writing articles promoting the seventeen SDGs agenda and visiting UN offices and SDGs friendly corporates such as UNOSD office located at Yonsei University or KT&G, and participate at the inaugural assembly for UN SDGs Forum at the national assembly of South Korea. Currently I intend to learn the interactions between nations of different and similar power, the works of global society for approaching and resolving various problems, and how the United Nation is preparing for sustainable future with intensifying scarcity of resources. I believe the WFUNA College Leaders in UN Program will provide me with more knowledge and experiences to guide my career towards working and contributing for the global society.

Sustainable Development Goals are something we must ponder upon and consider since we live in an interconnected society, no matter the distance between us. Responsibilities to mitigate global issues are our ultimate goal in the long run; however, youths today seem indifferent rather than taking some actions. With a pleasant heart, I would like to ameliorate these problems with a gentle power to change the world though WFUNA. Being a student intern in school and volunteering at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics gave me a glimpse of how an organization works and provided learning opportunities with global leaders.

Jaeeun Lee (이재은) Yeungnam Univeristy English Language and Literature It is a great privilege to be chosen as one of the representatives for Korea’s college leaders at the UN. Since I was little, I was always interested in something outside of my field of reach. As I grew up, this curiosity has served as my drive to question the issues that are occurring internationally. Mainly the issues which exceed beyond the borders of my own country and unite people under a common cause, such as human rights. This naturally made me to realize how central of a role the UN has come to play on the international stage and the efforts they have dedicated towards making the world a better place. What was and still is happening around the world is heartbreaking and motivates me to actively engage in the global matters. I believe the WFUNA college leader program would be a valuable experience for me to learn and contribute every bit of effort I am capable of giving towards bettering this world. I am more than glad to participate as part of the team.

My major is Technological Systems Management (TSM) and I am a senior student. When I studied abroad to Thailand when I was a middle school student, I read Ban Ki-Moon’s autobiography and it motivated me to be interested in the United Nations (UN).
