His founding motto, "Diligence," "Economy," "Seek thyself a work," in addition to the educational ideals of Veritas et Lux are inherited by Kwangwoon University today.In the era of internationalization and unlimited competition, Kwangwoon University is making sincere effort for its students as an institution of higher education and research to foster those who welcome challenge with creativity, intelligence and sensibility, and those who will put their practical education into action, which in turn builds their pride as well as their vision. Kwangwoon University promotes growth in terms of education, research, scholarships and welfare facilities to transform the students' passion and dreams into miracles and success stories, and to help them experience the butterfly effect that can bring change to the world.
