East Meets and Greets West

Spring 2005

The President of the Republic of Korea Roh Moo-hyun and First Lady Kwon Yang-Suk recently met with USC President Steven B. Sample and USC College Dean Joseph Aoun. The visit provided an opportunity to discuss USC’s Korean Studies Institute and the Ahn Chang Ho Family House, a recently renovated historical structure located near the USC Korean Heritage Library. The Ahn House, which was once home to celebrated Korean educator and independence activist Dosan Ahn Chang Ho, will soon house the College’s Korean Studies Institute along with exhibits of artifacts that belonged to Ahn and those of significant importance to the Korean community. Also in attendance at the Los Angeles meeting were three children from the Ahn family.
