International students from diverse countries should also take pride in overcoming new environments and cultural differences to complete your academic journeys. From now on, you will live in a rapidly changing society shaped by AI, big data, and other emerging forces, and you will also face complex global challenges such as climate change.  However, with the knowledge and experiences you have gained at YU, and with the spirit of the Cheonma, you are well prepared to overcome these challenges. Based on the founding spirit of President Park Chung Hee, Yeungnam University has long produced leaders who have contributed to national development. Going forward, YU will continue to nurture talents who will not only elevate Korea into a nation of dignity but also contribute to solving global challenges and advancing human society. I wish you boundless honor and success in all your future endeavors.”
