From the 1.5 percent tuition cut to the new Student Government Association presidential election, Ewha has undergone countless events, accomplishments and changes in the year of 2013. With the year closely ending its chapter, the Ewha Voice has looked back at significant news of the year through numbers.

 

The College of Music established the first university philharmonic orchestra in Korea. The Ewha Philharmonic Orchestra is composed of 80 members of currently enrolled Ewha students and alumnae with professor Sung Ki-sun (Orchestral Instruments) as the conductor. The orchestra’s main goal is to spread high quality music culture to those in local and marginalized areas and ultimately become a leading music college in the nation.
