President's Greeting

Welcome,
We sincerely thank you for visiting the website of Tongmyong University and extend our warmest greetings.
Tongmyong University has grown into a cradle of talent cultivation that contributes to the development of the local community, in honor of the noble founding spirit of Seok-Jin Kang, founder of Tongmyong Lumber Company, who embodied the ideals of “Silsa Gusi (seeking truth from facts)” and “Practical Industry-Academic Education.”
"Nurturing Creative Talent for the AI Era"
Our university is committed to preparing students to adapt to the rapidly changing demands of the AI era. We support them in developing creative thinking and problem-solving skills. With the spirit of Silsa Gusi at its foundation, we will nurture well-rounded, convergence-oriented talent who combine theory and practice, helping them grow into leaders who contribute to society.
"A University Strong in Employment and Entrepreneurship"
Tongmyong University is further strengthening its industry-academia-based practical education to ensure students can successfully enter society after graduation. Building upon our founder’s philosophy of close industry-academic cooperation, we have established a field-centered education system in collaboration with enterprises and the local community. In particular, with the opening of the Green Startup Town on our campus in 2027, we will enhance our entrepreneurship support system. This initiative will help students and young innovators with groundbreaking ideas achieve successful startups and contribute to revitalizing the local economy.
Tongmyong University promises to continue fostering creative and practical talent who will lead the future AI era, while contributing to the prosperity of both our community and the nation.
We sincerely ask for your continued support and encouragement.
Thank you.
Lee Sang Chun
The 11th President of Tongmyong University
