The CSU 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 – all are free!
Mr. Daewoo Lee said, “We are honored to host the KDVA Campus Club Meet and Greet at Columbus State University, marking the establishment of the first KDVA Campus Club in the United States. This event reaffirms KDVA’s unwavering commitment to the ROK-U.S. Alliance—a crucial partnership that ensures peace and security for both nations. Engaging in meaningful dialogue strengthens our resolve to advocate for this Alliance and support those who have served it.”
The CSU KCC held its Launch Meet & Greet on August 29, 2024.
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 person or by Zoom. You just need to register the KCC at your school and come up with ideas for activities and events.
The first KCC in South Korea was launched in April 2024 at the University of Utah, University Asia Campus in Incheon, Republic of Korea.
