“I was first introduced to the SNU Dream Together Master program in mid- 2014. At that time, I was immediately impressed with both the nature of the course, as well as its vision and mission. Korea is the only country that has been able to move from funding recipient to donor, and I believe that this would inspire other countries to make the same transition.

Since the launch of the global sport development initiative, the program has managed to attract candidates from 26 developing countries. This is a credit to both the status of the course and the outstanding reputation of Seoul National University. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to make a presentation to the students last year and was taken aback by the enthusiasm that the group had. Not just to learn, but more importantly, to take that knowledge back to their own countries and to make a very real contribution there.

I have no doubt that the Dream Together Master program will continue to provide a world class education to the students. More importantly though, it will also provide an opportunity to become future leaders and to inspire others in their own communities.

On all levels the SNU Dream together Master program looks certain to be a great success for many years to come”.
