One-hundred and twenty graduating students and their families attended the farewell party, where they spent a meaningful time congratulating each other on their hard work and graduation and sharing their warm connection with each other.

Vice President Ja Choon KOO congratulated the graduating students by saying, "Today, all of you have received your diplomas after crossing the Pacific Ocean and studying hard during all this time. Now you will return to your home countries, but we are one family under the large roof of Sungkyunkwan University. We at Sungkyunkwan University will celebrate and support your first steps toward a new beginning in our society."

The graduating student representatives, Ph.D. student Nawab Muhammad Faseeh Qureshi, and Master's student Gerke Sabrina Desiree, each gave a valedictory speech. Gerke Sabrina Desiree stated the graduating students' feelings by saying, "Although we faced barriers such as language problems while attending classes, after many sleepless nights we were able to overcome them and stand in this honorable position today. Let's become brilliant global leaders in every nation of the world."
