Invitation Event held for International Foundation for Ewha Womans University

사랑과 감사를 전하다, 이화국제재단 초청행사 개최Ewha Womans University hosted an invitation event for the International Foundation for Ewha Womans University (IFEWU) from Wednesday, May 29 to Friday, May 31. This event was organized to express gratitude to the IFEWU and donors, whose unwavering support has been instrumental in Ewha’s development, while also encouraging their continued interest and support to explore a relationship of mutual growth with Ewha. The visit to Ewha was attended by over 40 members of the IFEWU, including President Mary Ann Swenson, board members, and donors. Representing Ewha, President Eun Mee Kim and key officials greeted the guests and expressed gratitude alongside around 20 students who benefited from the IFEWU scholarships firsthand.


The IFEWU is a nonprofit organization established in April 1970 with the aim to support Ewha by Christian organizations including the United Methodist Church, as well as alumnae based in North America and their family members. The foundation has since made significant contributions to Ewha’s development by funding various development initiatives such as improving the educational environment, sponsoring construction projects and providing scholarships.

A total of 42 donors who donated more than KRW 100 million through the IFEWU had their names engraved on plaques on the Analogue Wall, along with photos and videos of each donor on display. The subsequent campus tour and the visit to Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital on Thursday, May 30, allowed the IFEWU board members and donors to explore major campus buildings including the Welch-Ryang Auditorium and the Ewha Archives, in addition to the hospital’s medical facilities.
