The Korea Defense Veterans Association (KDVA) is very excited to announce the 1st KDVA Campus Club at the University of Utah, University Asia Campus (UAC), located in Incheon, South Korea.  The KDVA Campus Club is led by Club President Jewoong Hwang with support from Mr. Sunghee Kim, Assistant Professor, School of Accounting, and Mr. James Park, Director of External Relations and Alumni Affairs.  The Club members include several former and current KDVA Interns.

The UAC KDVA Campus Club is excited to bring together students with common interests to increase awareness and advocacy of the ROK-U.S. Alliance and our Veterans. With the support of KDVA, they will host Meet and Greets, Webinars, Conferences, Korean Cultural Experiences, and more.

Mr. Sunghee Kim, one of the Club Advisors said, “I am very excited that the very first KDVA Campus Club has been established at the University of Utah Asia Campus (UAC), empowering the Club to have a global setting from the beginning. The University of Utah provides students with the opportunity to become global leaders by studying in multiple nations, including South Korea. The KDVA Campus Club established at the University of Utah Asia Campus plans to extend its operations to the main campus in Salt Lake City.”

The UAC will hold its KCC Launch Meet & Greet in April.  Whether you are a KDVA member or not, you are invited – for free!  So, please look for an announcement soon.

KDVA Campus Clubs are our “Boots on the Ground” on college campuses in the United States and Korea.  KCCs support KDVA’s mission of enhancing and supporting the ROK-U.S. Alliance and our Veterans on college campuses. Anyone can start a KCC and run the Campus Club as its President.  KDVA HQ provides all the funds, social media support, and senior Alliance leaders to participate in events in person or by Zoom.  You just need to register the KCC at your school and come up with ideas for activities and events.

If you’re interested in learning more about starting a KDVA Campus Club at your school, please contact KDVA Campus Club Coordinator Ambrie Jones at ambrie.kdva@gmail.com.  And join KDVA for free, yes for free, at kdva.vet/join-kdva.
