Environmentally Friendly Subway Lecture Series
Soonchunhyang undertook an educational initiative for its students commuting to campus by subway in Fall 2010, offering lectures in three university courses by SCH professors. This series enables students to save time and is designed to encourage them to choose public transportation over driving to school. The car of the train where the lectures are held is equipped with four LCD monitors, a beam projector, speakers, and a wireless microphone for the professors.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.”
