The City of Light: With a population of 1.5 million, Gwangju MetropolitanCity is the fifth largest
city in South Korea. Gwangju has consistently played an important role in the history of Korea’s
democracy and human rights movements. In particular, the May 18 Democratic Movement, in
resistance against military rule, set an example for many Asian countries who are aspiring
freedom and justice. The Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Summit and a Women's Forum in 2006
and 2007 respectively offered opportunities to raise awareness about the spirit of Gwangju,
democracy, human rights, and peace around the world. Gwangju is also regarded as a city rich
in culture and art, and there are always exhibitions and performances which make the city
vibrant and colorful.

Voices from Participants
Professor Robert Daland

"CNU ISS is an amazing program!

m I was
wa impressed by the energy and intensity of all the undergraduates I met. The field trips are a really cool mix of Korean and international culture, plus time to get to
know your new friends. The students I met formed really strong bonds with each other, regardless of
nationality, and some of them are now studying abroad with friends they met in CNU ISS-2013. This
is high-impact international exchange, the kind that will change your life forever. It will open your eyes
to the beauties and the hard realities of other cultures. I only wish I had done CNU I SS when I was in
college."
Peter Thommesen
University of Missouri-Columbia, USA
"I think of CNU's ISS as maybe the most magical month of my life. I was able to spend four weeks in
Korea, a new and exciting and dynamically changing country, studying, learning, and exploring, all
the while making new friends and experiencing entirely unique life events. Every moment of my time
in Korea was filled with adventure and excitement as we took field trips to mountaintop Buddhist
temples, mud festivals, world expos, traditional villages, big cities, and spent all of our down time
exploring the vast array of opportunities found just in the city of Gwangju itself. The staff of the ISS
were incredibly hospitable and kind. I can say that after participating in CNU ISS I have gained
summer credits furthering my academic career, seen more of a new country in one month than most
people see in years of exploration, and developed incredibly close friendships with people from
around the entire world. The lifetime of memories I gained from this trip are more than I can repay,
and I hope that everyone who is able to may partake of this program."
Katria Alampay
University of the Philippines, Philippines
"Every Single day I was at CNU, I was happy. I wish I could have documented every minute of it. Every
day I got to try new Korean food, talk to someone different, or learn something meaningful about
different cultures. I enjoyed experiencing Korean culture and witnessing the beauty of Korea during
the cultural trips every weekend. My favorite was to the Mud Festival because all the international
students and buddies were very close already and we got to have fun together by the beach. But the
most memorable trip was probably the Temple Stay because we all got to have such a foreign
experience together for the first time. I always miss my time in Gwangju, especially all the food and
getting to have so many cool experiences in Korea both during the program and just by ourselves.
CNU ISS gave me much more than just that one month. I gained memories, friends, and stories that I
will treasure always."
