A disaster may happen far away, but for those whose families and friends are there, it is never truly distant.

Sejong University extends its deepest sympathy and condolences following the devastating floods and landslides in Nepal, which have claimed many lives and destroyed homes and communities.

Our University is home to students from many parts of the world. Among them, our Nepalese students are valued members of the Sejong community, learning, living, and growing together with us on the same campus.

We know that some of our students may be deeply worried about the safety and well-being of their families and loved ones back home. Sejong University is currently reaching out to our Nepalese students to understand their circumstances and whether they or their families have been affected. If any student is facing difficulties in their studies or campus life as a result of this disaster, we will listen carefully to their circumstances and consider how the University may best support them.

A university is a place where we pursue knowledge, but it is also a place where we learn not to turn away from the hardship of others. Though we may come from different countries and cultures, once we study and live together on the same campus, we become part of one community. Standing beside those who are facing difficult times is also one of the values a university should uphold.

We mourn those who have lost their lives and extend our heartfelt condolences to all who have lost loved ones.

With the shared hopes of the entire Sejong University community, we sincerely wish for the swift recovery of the affected areas and for peace and normalcy to return soon to families across Nepal.
