In his inauguration ceremony at Shinchon-dong, Seoul, he vowed to bring about changes that would help students prepare for an era in which lifespan is prolonged, a society in which networking is important, and a culture in which sympathy for one another is crucial. His four-year term will be until Jan.31, 2020.
