Shim Hwajin, president of Sungshin Women’s University said “History helps us ruminate the past with literary or pictorial protocols. It promotes cultural prosperity. We at Sungshin emphasize the culture and arts.
Students should study the value of culture and recognize the past, solidify the present and plan the future. We are going to cherish the works of Choi Yetae to teach students the value of our culture.
성신여자대학교 심화진 전 총장은, “역사는 문자로 된 의궤나 그림으로 된 의궤도로 반추할 수 있게 합니다. 그것이 바로 문화융성입니다. 저희 성신여자대학교는 그렇기 때문에 문화예술을 중요시하고 있습니다.
학술을 연구하는 학생들은 그러한 문화적 가치를 보면서 과거를 인식하고 오늘을 굳건히 하며 내일을 계획하게 됩니다. 최예태 화백(서양화가 최예태, 최예태 작가, 崔禮泰,ARTIST CHOI YE TAE)은 우리 학생들에게 작품과 특강을 통해 문화적 소산을, 그리고 가치를 깨우쳐 주셔서 그 뜻이 빛나도록 최선의 노력을 다할 것입니다.”라고 말했다.
