A Chinese's student's parent and Nanyang Institute of Technology each donated 10,000 masks in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Zhang Jiantao, the parent of an SKKU student at the College of Economics, donated 10,000 masks on April 9th (Thursday). The donation was made anonymously under the child's name. Zhang Jiantao stated, "I decided to make the donations out of thanks to the Korean government who helped out China when it was suffering from Covid-19. I hope Korean citizens will quickly overcome Covid-19 and get back to their normal lives."
On April 13th (Monday), 10,000 masks were donated from Nanyang Institute of Technology. The donation was led by College of Software Professor Emeritus Hwang Daejun. Last year in December, the president of Nanyang Institute of Technology's delegation visited SKKU and decided to form a partnership. Nanyang Institute of Technology has donated 10,000 masks to both SKKU and Kyungnam University.
