The inaugural meeting of the Westminster Christian Academy Korean Alumni Club took place this October in Seoul, South Korea. Â Director of International Student Program Dani Butler conceived the idea that Westminster alumni living in South Korea should formally establish a group in order to stay in touch with each other and Westminster.
Dani shared the idea with one of her first students, Chang-Soo Chun, and he loved it! Chang-Soo owns a restaurant in South Korea and offered to host the first meeting.  The initial group consisted of Dani, Chang-Soo and five other alumni working or studying in Korea.  The majority of Westminster’s Korean graduates still live in the United States as they pursue undergraduate or graduate degrees. However, most plan to travel to Korea for a visit next summer, so the next gathering is scheduled for July 2013.  The club hopes to have more than 20 members in attendance at the next meeting.
The group has already established a Facebook group for Korean alumni and hopes to develop more specific goals when they convene next summer.
