One of the most important events for KAIST College of Business (KCB), the
commencement ceremony, was held on February 24, 2018 in the Auditorium. This
year, we are proud that 21 international students of KAIST Graduate School of
Finance (KGSF) participated in this commencement ceremony. With all the
blessings from the faculty and staff from KCB, the graduates’ families,
friends, the graduating students successfully completed their two-years of study
in KAIST.
Before the international students returned to their countries, KGSF also
offered an unforgettable farewell event for the KOICA 2016 batch in a cafe near
the school on February 23rd. At the beginning of the event, KOICA Chair Professor Joo-Hoon Kim
presented awards to all participants and the graduates had memorable moments in
the photo session and they shared their experiences with the new KOICA group.
After the commencement ceremony and the farewell, the members of the KOICA
2016 Group went back to their home countries full of knowledge and passion.

“As a statistical engineer, it was an amazing experience to study a new
field “Finance” at KAIST College of Business, one of the best schools in Asia.
This experience allowed me to enrich my life in many ways, especially in terms
of time management. The courses at the university were interesting, I learned a lot about
topics I did not know earlier. I was also impressed by the good quality of education as well as a good
material condition of studies. Furthermore, the activities provided by the
school during the program allowed me to discover a new culture, to explore new
places, and to make friends from all over the world. Studying at KAIST was challenging and demanding. However, it made us
better equipped for the future.
I’m really proud and glad to be a member of KAIST, and I’m thankful to all
the staff of KAIST for their professionalism and dedication. It was one of the
best 18 months of my life.”
◇ Andrés Felipe Montalvo Carrion (FMBA 2016/Ecuador)
“If you desire to find a place where you can feel inspired to learn, to
grow and to share your culture with dozens of people from different parts of
the planet. If you demand a program that can really help you to advance your
career, and get connected to an amazing network of top-of-the-line
professionals and academicians, then KAIST is the right place for you. This is
exactly what I experienced during my studies at KAIST College of Business. This
experience is in my heart and will always guide my personal development.”
◇ Ratanak Buth (FMBA 2016/Cambodia)
“Study in KAIST South Korea has changed my life forever. I have learnt
many important skills and knowledge from the school, especially from the
friends that I have made. The back to school life was amazing and different
with a lot of assignments and presentations. It was hard work, but it was fun
and challenging to work with different people to overcome these challenges. I
also had a lot of fun off campus with everything that South Korea has to offer.
I always felt the safest there. KAIST will always be my second home.”
