<BODY style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; MARGIN: 5px; FONT-FAMILY: gulim; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff\"> No longer concentrating only on US, China and Japan. Diversification to Netherlands, Finland, Poland, Slovenia, etc 1,262 international students from 37 countries including 82 exchange students studying at Yeungnam University [Mar 8, 2011] “Slovenia may not be a familiar country to most people, but as a student majoring in sociology, it is a country that is very fascinating. I think it is a great fortune and opportunity to be able to study at the University of Ljubljana where the new star in philosophy since the 90s, Slavoj Zizek, is working as a professor. I will study hard and give a good impression of Korean university students.\" Choi, Byeong-jun (23), a junior majoring in sociology at Yeungnam University, set off for Slovenia in late February. He will be studying this semester as an exchange student at Slovenia\'s best university, which is known for its academic traditions of its culture of debating freely and its academic independence to the point that each and every scholar is said to be a separate research institute. <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_08304723273108052 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard-2011/cheditor/show_image.php?im=__2011-04-04_09-39-45_1102.jpg\" target=_blank> Last summer, Yeungnam University invited 102 students from 14 countries and hosted the International Youth Festival for seven days. This event acted as a window to connect the province and Yeungnam University with the rest of the world. Like Choi, there are a total of 210 Yeungnam University students being sent off to sister schools overseas on scholarships for studying abroad. Because overseas scholarship students are exempt from all tuition at the local school according to the sister school agreement with Yeungnam University and since they can also earn credits, students compete fiercely for this opportunity. This semester, Yeungnam University selected a total of 210 overseas scholarship students - 144 exchange students, 62 being sent to overseas campus, 2 for double diplomas, and 1 each in the language training course by invitation of the Taiwanese government and the language training course at the Confucius Academy. In late February, they were sent to 55 schools across the world. The nations of the universities were also diversified to 12 countries. In the past, they were concentrated to the US, Japan and China, but now they are being sent to France, Germany, Finland, as well as Eastern European nations such as Poland and Slovenia. When considering that just three years ago in the first semester of 2008 overseas scholarship students were sent to seven countries such as the US and Asian countries, it shows just how much the global partnership has expanded and diversified. Meanwhile, in this semester, there are a total of 1,262 international students from 37 countries at Yeungnam University including 82 foreign exchange students from 10 countries including the US, Japan, China, Vietnam, Netherlands, Poland, Finland, and Slovenia. Yeungnam University has also opened the School of International Studies that conduct classes only in English for international students, while also offering various culture experience and exchange programs to act as a \'national PR center\' to let the world know about Korea.

<BODY style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; MARGIN: 5px; FONT-FAMILY: gulim; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff\"> Department of Biochemistry Jang, Tae-ho, College of Pharmacy Kim, Tae-hyeong Published several theses as main author in SCI level journals during the two years in masters\' degree course [February 14, 2011] On the 22nd, world-acclaimed scholars will receive their masters\' degrees after publishing several theses as the main authors in international SCI level journals during their two years in masters\' degree courses. World-acclaimed scholars (from left, Jang, Tae-ho, Kim, Tae-hyeong) They are Jang, Tae-ho (27) who is in the graduate school of Biochemistry and Kim, Tae-hyeong (27) in the graduate school of Pharmacy. They both enrolled in the Yeungnam University graduate school master\'s degree course in March 2009 and will receive their master\'s degree after accomplishing outstanding research achievements after two years. Jang, who majors in Biochemistry and is planning to enroll in the PhD program, worked on understanding the molecular-level union of proteins that play a part in the transmission of cell signals for the past two years, and by making chemicals or peptides that retard or promote such union, he worked on developing medicine to treat various diseases caused by the failure of cell signal transmission. In the process, he published a total of six papers in prominent SCI level international journals in the biochemical and molecular biology sectors such as ≪Journal of Biotechnology≫, ≪Apoptosis≫, ≪Biochim Biophys Acta≫, placing five of his papers as the main author. His adviser, Professor Park, Hyun-ho (36, School of Biotechnology), stated, \"It is a very rare case where one person publishes five papers in globally recognized SCI level journals during the two-year course of a master\'s degree program,\" adding, \"He not only has a sharp mind as a student of science, but also has a diligent attitude so I trust that he will grow into an excellent scientist.\" Kim, Tae-hyeong, who is in the graduate school of Pharmacy, will also be receiving his master\'s degree on this day, and he placed his name as the main author on the 28th of last month for the SCI-level international journal ≪Cancer Research≫ online edition. ≪Cancer Research≫, which has an impact factor of 7.5, is one of the most prominent academic journals in the cancer research sector, and it is very rare for a student in their master\'s degree course to have his paper publish in this journal. The title of his thesis was ‘Nrf2 blockade suppresses colon tumor angiogenesis by inhibiting hypoxia-induced activation of HIF-1α\'. He revealed the functions of \'Nrf2\' as a new target molecule that suppresses generation of new blood vessels through HIF-1α in the colon tumor model. ‘Nrf2’ is an important transcription factor that induces the revealing of Anti-Oxidant genes. This research was made through the support of the support program for leading researchers of the National Research Foundation of Korea and the Phase 2 BK21 Project (BK21 Human Resources Development for Development and Effect-Evaluation of Improved New Medicine) under the supervision of Professor Kwak, Mi-Kyoung (College of Pharmacy, Pharmacological Research Office). Kim has already earned a job as a researcher at Dong-A Pharmaceutical, and is working hard on researching and developing new medicine. Meanwhile, Yeungnam University will hold a commencement ceremony for the 2010 school year at the Chunma Art Center Chamber Hall at 11am on the 22nd and give diplomas to 73 PhDs, 502 masters and 4,108 bachelors. Also, 491 undergraduates who majored in two or more majors will receive multiple diplomas.
