    Local and international students from 20 countries around the world completed the CNU International Summer Session (ISS) 2019 successfully. CNU hosted the farewell ceremony and party for the students and professors who participated in the ISS program on July 19. During the four-week session from June 23, international students and Korean buddies took the lectures from renowned professors and also had opportunities to learn Korean culture. They experienced a variety of activities such as the Korean traditional costume try-outs and cultural excursions visiting the Korean Folk Village and a temple. Nguyen Ngoc Phuong Trang (Dept. of Economics, University of Houston, USA) said, “I learned about international trade from the ISS class and how to be more independent and critical in order to solve some unexpected incidents.” She added that she gained new knowledge about Korean culture, lifestyle and language thanks to cultural activities with her buddy.
