On April 12, 2025, SUNY Korea hosted the Spring Alumni Career Talk and welcomed back its alumni to share their professional journeys and insights with the current students. The event featured graduates from various majors – including Computer Science and Technology and Society from Stony Brook University, Korea, and Fashion Business Management from Fashion Institute of Technology, Korea. The session provided a platform for alumni to reflect on their academic experiences, career paths, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.
Among the presenters was Hawon Park, Computer Science graduate, a researcher who spoke about his days at SUNY Korea, his internships with V-ethos and Zero Class, and how those opportunities helped shape his career.
Jinsil Lee, Fashion Business Management graduate, shared her story as the CEO of Weekendglow. After leaving a Korean university at a young age to gain work experience, she spent years in the retail industry as an employee and store manager. At the age of 26, she decided to pursue higher education in the U.S., ultimately enrolling in the FIT program at SUNY Korea. She highlighted that learning has no age limit, and credited her time at FIT for helping her find business partners.
During each session, all the alumni mentioned a common theme: make the most of your university life. They advised students to explore their interests, seek out internships, and utilize resources like the Career Development Center. They stressed that what students learn in college often plays a vital role in shaping their professional and personal identities, particularly when preparing resumes, interviews, and future career decisions.
The Spring 2025 Alumni Career Talk served as a bridge to connect SUNY Korea alumni and current students. Through candid stories and advice, the alumni were able to inspire the current students to reflect on their future goals.
