On January 14, Inha university invited donors and alumni who have devoted themselves to the development of the school and hosted the “2026 Inha Appreciation Night” at the Sheraton Grand Incheon.
The “Inha Appreciation Night” was organized to express gratitude to donors and alumni who have accompanied the university through its growth and leap forward, and to share the university’s vision and direction for future development.
The event was attended by about 50 donors and alumni who are contributing to Inha University’s development, including President Cho Myung-woo and Kim Doo-han, President of the Inha University Alumni Association.
At the Inha Appreciation Night, a development fund donation ceremony for the university was also held. Alumni Association President Kim Doo-han donated 30 million won to the university development fund, while the Global Business Leader Academy (GBLA) 1st Cohort Alumni Association (10 million won) and former Inha University Vice President Kim Yoo-hang (6 million won) also joined in donating to the university’s development fund.
Alumni Association President Kim Doo-han said, “I am grateful for the remarkable leap forward achieved by my alma mater, and together with fellow alumni, I will continue to contribute even more to the development of our university.”
President Cho Myung-woo shared with donors and alumni the university’s path of growth and its vision for the future during the event.
In particular, he introduced the university’s CubeSat “INHAROSAT,” which successfully entered orbit together with the 4th launch of Nuri last year, and reflected on the path Inha has taken as the “birthplace” of Korea’s aerospace field.
Inha university also introduced its major development campaigns currently underway. The development campaigns are external cooperation projects in which donors, alumni, and the local community participate together to ensure the continuous advancement of the university’s education and research.
These include ▲ the “1,000-won Breakfast” campaign to strengthen student welfare, ▲ a naming campaign linked to the construction of Seungunjae, a Happiness Dormitory, and ▲ visits to alumni-run companies to strengthen industry–academia cooperation and alumni networks.
Through these development campaigns, the university plans to further solidify the foundation for improving student welfare and the educational environment, as well as for sustained cooperation with donors and alumni.
President Cho Myung-woo stated, “The Inha Appreciation Night went beyond simply expressing gratitude to the Inha community—donors and alumni—who have contributed to the development of Inha University in many ways so far; it was a meaningful time to draw the university’s history and future together,” adding, “We will continue to leap forward as a global prestigious university that grows together with alumni, donors, and the local community.”
