KAIST College of Business Held "Creativity Fusion Camp" for Multicultural Family Students
Students from the College of Business, KAIST, held the Creativity Fusion Camp for 77 multicultural students from May 31 to June 1 at the KAIST campus in Daejeon. The camp was funded through an education donation program which was created to support multicultural students who are interested in science. $20,000 was raised by 100 participants in a fund-raising marathon including students in the KAIST Business School. The camp was only for multicultural students, and their participation was free of charge. Nationally, 100 applicants were evaluated over 10 days beginning May 14, and 30 elementary school students and 47 junior high school students were selected. The camp centered around creating mini games with rare programming languages. Drawing sounds, exploring computational thinking, making animations, and designing mini games were the other programs students took part in. Sung-Hyun Cha, the student council leader of the College of Business, said, “We have been pondering over how to truly benefit people who are economically and socially underprivileged in our society, apart from simply giving financial donations. I hope this camp will be an important chance for multicultural students to enjoy science.” Jae-Hyun Ahn, Vice-Dean of the College of Business, said, “Many of the activities of the College of Business have mostly focused on learning, but now we have to turn our attention into serving others as well. This is the new education model that KAIST has been endeavoring to build.” The KAIST College of Business has made contributions and donations to help people in need by partnering with the Habitat for Humanity and Babper Service and undertaking charity bazaars and auctions.

ICISTS-KAIST 2014 (International Conference for the Integration of Science, Technology, and Society)
Close your eyes and imagine a life without science and technology, a life without cars, electricity, and the Internet. Having trouble? Now open your eyes to the real world with science and technology: Biochemical weapons wreaking havoc in Syria, the disaster at Fukushima poisoning the Earth. This ironic twist, however, often goes unseen—a failure to recognize the nature of science. You realize that science and technology possess the power to shift entire paradigms, and as generators of such an impetus, that they require much inspection. Are you sure, though? How much do you actually know about science? And so, ICISTS-KAIST 2014 asks: Is science truly leading progress? Meeting its 10th ICISTS-KAIST 2014 will scrutinize science on top of a social and cultural context and pave way for discussions that envision a better future. On a wonderful five-day journey beginning on August 4th , KAIST campus will once again open doors for future leaders to meet people and get inspired. Meet People, Get Inspired 400 participants from over 100 universities and 25 countries engage in lectures and discussions led by the world’s leading experts Establish a global network through culture night and beer party Details for ICISTS-KAIST 2014: Theme: Does Science Lead Progress?

Professor Whang has also a history of receiving the Outstanding Contributions Award in 2011 from the Database Systems for Advanced Applications (DASFAA), the prestigious database academic conference in the Asia-Pacific region. The database and data mining field in the region was barren 20 years ago, but through the efforts and contributions of many researchers, including Professor Whang, it has now leapt to the level of being the equal of North American and European researchers. In fact, three academic organizations in the current international database field are led by professors in the Asia-Pacific region. The IEEE ICDE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Technical Committee on Data Engineering) is led by Professor Whang; the VLDB (Very Large Data Base) Endowment by Professor Beng Chin Ooi from National University of Singapore (NUS); and the ACM SIGMOD (Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Management of Data) by Professor Don Kossmann from ETH Zurich.
