The ceremony was followed by an event, “Get Together & Go for New Ewha“, held at ECC Valley where Ewha students shared with the new president their expectations and hope of the university. Students also discussed various issues and sought ways to cope with them with their new president, which include curbing tuition increases while expanding scholarships, realizing their six demands, providing a place for better communication, expanding support for those preparing for state examinations, and diversifying class registration methods.
