*Event Description*
2023 marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Korea
and the 70th anniversary of the longstanding alliance between the Republic
of Korea and the United States. In commemoration of these two pivotal
events in US-ROK relations, the George Washington University Institute for
Korean Studies (GWIKS) invites you to join us for a special conference
analyzing Syngman Rhee’s legacy and his impact on the US-ROK alliance.
Syngman Rhee, the first President of the Republic of Korea (ROK), received
his B.A. degree from GW in 1907, a Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award
in 1949, and an honorary degree (LL.D.) in 1954.

This conference will examine the Syngman Rhee period focusing on the
historical perspectives of foreign policy, domestic politics, and cultural
development. Additionally, the conference will examine Rhee’s role in the
establishment of the US-ROK mutual defense treaty, which has played a key
role in the security, development, and prosperity of the Republic of Korea.
Furthermore, the conference will discuss the lasting impact of the defense
treaty and its role in modern US-ROK relations. Historians and literary
scholars will delve into these important issues over three-panel
discussions throughout the conference.
