On June 26, Korea Aerospace University (KAU) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Goyang Sinsagae Eye Clinic to strengthen medical welfare services for its students, faculty, and staff, while also promoting mutual development between the two institutions.

The signing ceremony took place at the SSG Lounge on the 4th floor of Haengsin Square in Haengsin-dong, Goyang Special City. Attendees from KAU included Prof. Hwang Wan-sik, Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Song Mi-kyung, Dean of the Institute of Lifelong Education, and Mr. Yoon Kwang-nam, Head of the Student Support Team. Representing the clinic were Dr. Ahn Jong-ho, Dr. Min Jun-ki, and Mr. Han Byung-jun, Head of Planning and Operations.

Under this agreement, both institutions will collaborate in several areas, including:

• Organizing eye health seminars,

• Providing convenient and quality ophthalmic services for university members,

• Offering discounts on aviation medical checkups,

• Improving access to facilities such as the Aerospace Museum and the interior of the A300 aircraft.

This partnership is particularly beneficial to international students, who will now have access to tailored eye care services, facilitating both their health management and smoother adjustment to life in Korea.

Prof. Hwang remarked, “This agreement not only enhances the welfare of our university members, but also represents a meaningful step toward cooperation with local medical institutions. We will continue to develop practical support measures so that all students, faculty, their families, and especially our international students, can enjoy wide-ranging benefits.”

Dr. Ahn, Director of Goyang Sinsagae Eye Clinic, stated, “We are pleased to offer high-quality eye care services to the KAU community through this partnership. We are committed to providing accurate diagnoses and compassionate care that international students and all our visitors can trust.”

With this MOU, the overall quality of medical welfare services available to the KAU community is expected to improve significantly, helping both Korean and international students enjoy a healthier and more supportive campus experience.
