style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"HelveticaNeueLT Std"'>KASC is an annual student-organized
conference which brings together 50 students for a month of intellectual
discussion, travel, and cross-cultural engagement. Delegations are comprised of
highly-motivated undergraduate and graduate students from the <st1:country-region
w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region> and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">Korea</st1:country-region></st1:place> selected for a range of
backgrounds and academic interests. Each conference is conceptualized, planned,
and led solely by students. This year, KASC will travel to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Seoul</st1:City></st1:place>, Gwangju, Jeju, and Busan.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face="HelveticaNeueLT Std"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"HelveticaNeueLT Std"'>A unique function of
the KASC experience is that it inspires mutual trust, understanding, and
friendship in students from a wide range of backgrounds on both sides of the
Pacific. Half of each delegation represents <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place> universities, the other half
Korean universities. Although many <st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region>
delegates have backgrounds in Korean Studies, students with no prior
involvement with <st1:place w:st="on">East Asia</st1:place> bring diverse
viewpoints to share with their overseas counterparts, and come away with
life-long memories and friends. KASC is also a good opportunity for Asian
studies majors with concentrations other than <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">Korea</st1:country-region></st1:place> to gain insight into other
perspectives on East Asian issues. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
