George Fallis, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, accepts a cheque from Dae Won Park, Consul General of the Republic of Korea. Prof. Bernard Luk, coordinator of East Asian Studies (1997-98) is pictured in the background. The Consul General of the Republic of Korea, Dae Won Park, visited York University on Friday, Sept. 25 to present a cheque for $22,300 (U.S.) The money was presented to the Faculty of Arts on behalf of the Korea Foundation, an organization established in 1992 that is aimed at promoting international exchanges and friendship between the people of Korea and the rest of the world. The cheque represents the first of three donations over a three-year period to help fund a tenure-track position promoting the study of Korean culture and civilization in Canada. Korean Studies professor Theresa Hyun was appointed to this position within the Division of Humanities last year. An additional grant of $100,000 over a four-year period from the Max Bell Foundation, substantially supports this initiative as well. Founded in 1972, the Max Bell Foundation is named after philanthropist George Maxwell Bell and provides grants nationwide for innovative projects related to several topics, including those related to Canada and the Asia Pacific Region. "The support of the Korea Foundation and the Max Bell Foundation, enables York to strengthen its partnerships with Korean universities such as Sookmyung Women's University and Yonsei University," said Maria Cioni, director of York International. "This support also enhances York's contact with the local Korean community, and prepares York students to succeed both in exchange programs abroad and in the multicultural community in which they live." Accepting on behalf of the Faculty of Arts, Dean George Fallis expressed his delight at receiving this generous support for both the position and for the development of York's East Asian Studies Program. Moon-Han Yoon, consul of culture and information for the Republic of Korea, attended the event along with the consul general. Representing York University along with Fallis were Gary Smith, vice-president (university advancement); Maria Cioni, director of York International; Bernard Luk, coordinator of East Asian Studies, 1997-98; and Gerry Jordan, coordinator of East Asian Studies, 1998-99. |

The Social Committee at Osgoode Hall Law School is planning its third annual fundraiser for the United Way on Wednesday, October 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event will include a silent auction, a bake sale, and a tarot reading. A silent auction is one in which a variety of packages are presented for an auction. Faculty, staff and students bid for these items by writing their bid on a sheet of paper beside the item for auction. The highest bidder at the end of the day has purchased the item. Tarot reading will again be done by Debra Ram. We are asking for items to be donated for the auction. If you have items for the auction (books, tickets, etc.) please contact Deanna Jubas at (416) 736-2100 ext. 33118 or Sam Scrivo at ext. 66571. Last year's bake sale was very successful and we hope it will be again this year. Contact for the bake sale is Felicia Holder at ext. 33467. |
