Current Student

Going to UAC has allowed me to grow so much and experience something I’ve never imagined before. As the Student Ambassador, I get the opportunity to work at the Asia Campus and the Salt Lake City Campus, and also share my experience about UAC to people around the world!

Alumni

Coming from the Salt Lake City Campus in Utah, I was used to huge classes and lots of different cultures. When I came to UAC I was pleasantly surprised by the diversity and foreign language opportunities. In addition, I fell in love with the smaller classes and kind staff members.

During my study at the U Asia Campus, I had the opportunity to obtain extensive experience both in the US and Korea. After the graduation, I worked as an MC for 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Winter Olympic Torch Relay and Google Korea Year-End Party. Currently, I’m working in the Marketing Department at Korean Air. I’m responsible for Partnership Marketing and Joint Venture with Delta Airlines.

Being the member of the inaugural class at UAC has allowed me to go through various experiences available only at U Asia Campus. After graduating, I worked as a compliance analyst at multinational financial investment firms. Now, I am currently a J.D. candidate at Georgetown Law and will start my legal career at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP New York office this fall.
