The
Korean Student Association (KSA), a socio-cultural
organization at the George Washington University (GW), was
founded to promote unity and awareness among Korean and
Korean American students at the GW and to provide a
professional and social network for Korean students within
the greater DC area.
Throughout
the years, the KSA has
strived to introduce Korean culture to the North American
region through its many activities and events. The KSA has organized and
communicated cultural
activities to the GW community with the intent of
broadly presenting the Korean culture to not just Koreans
but to all interested individuals outside the Korean
community, providing them with opportunities to better
understand our customs.

[The HMS Colloquium in the Korean Humanities series at GW provides a
forum for academic discussion of Korean arts, history, language,
literature, thought and religious systems in the context of East Asia
and the world. The Colloquium series is made possible by an endowment
established by the estate of Hahn Moo-Sook (1918-1993), one of Korea's
most honored writers, in order to uphold her spirit of openness,
curiosity, and commitment to education. The 16th HMS colloquium is
co-sponsored by GW's Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, Sigur
Center for Asian Studies, and Institute for Ethnographic Research.]
