Acknowledgments:

Dr Chris Lee

We are honored to extend our sincerest gratitude to Dr. Christopher Lee, a retired faculty member from the Ohio State Department of Radiology, for his generous sponsorship of our Korean performance event. Dr. Lee’s philanthropic spirit and commitment to education have led to the establishment of the Dr. Lee Korean Studies Research Fund. This transformative gift is poised to elevate the Ohio State Korean program to the forefront of Korean studies programs nationwide, enabling advancements in research, performance funding, and the expansion of partnerships. Originally from South Korea, Dr. Lee pursued his medical education at Yonsei University in Korea before undertaking post-graduate training and a radiology fellowship at Ohio State. He had a distinguished career in private practice as well as imparted his knowledge and expertise as a clinical professor of radiology at Ohio State for a decade. Reflecting on his own journey, Dr. Lee emphasizes the profound impact of receiving a scholarship during his medical studies, which inspired his commitment to giving back. His unwavering dedication to supporting OSU students and faculty research exemplifies the spirit of generosity and community that defines our Korean program.

We would also like to acknowledge Prof. Chan Park, Professor Emeritus, who first initiated the Korean performance event at OSU, an initiative that is carried on by the current Korean faculty.
