President Lee Attends Anniversary Ceremony at Alma Mater Chung-Ang University, Telling Students "I Cheer for You"

President Lee Jae-myung visited his alma mater, Chung-Ang University, on October 16 to attend its 110th anniversary ceremony.

Senior Presidential Spokesperson Kang Yu-jung explained that President Lee attended the event to engage in open and candid communication with students.

The president's visit to his alma mater came after Chung-Ang University selected him as the first recipient of its Special Achievement Award since its founding to commemorate its 110th anniversary.

In his congratulatory address at the ceremony, President Lee said that the truth about the May 18 Democratization Movement, which he learned during his college years, along with the values of learning and solidarity experienced on campus, served as a precious foundation that changed his life.

President Lee also remarked, "Looking back on my college years, it was truly a precious and valuable time," urging students to "cherish the time you have, as time is life and living itself."

He concluded his speech by saying, "To all members of righteous Chung-Ang who die for justice and live in truth, I cheer for you and love you."

President Lee received a varsity jacket embroidered with "Lee Jae-myung" on the sleeve from the student council president, put it on on the spot, and took commemorative photos while holding the school mascot, Puang.
