On May 30th, CCADD came together to
celebrate Teacher's Day, creating a memorable evening for Prof. Howard,
graduate students, and CCADD members. The event was graced by the presence of
Dr. Hyun A Lee, Dr. Siun Kim, Dr. Yoona Choi, and Dr. Tae Kyu Chung, whose
attendance added warmth and significance to the occasion.
The evening was enchanting, with a
delightful dinner setting the stage for meaningful conversations. Attendees
shared recent updates, discussed various research topics, and exchanged
personal experiences. Both graduates and current students found inspiration and
motivation in each other's stories, drawing strength from their shared
journeys.
A heartfelt farewell for Dr. Tae Kyu
Chung marked a special highlight of the event. As he prepares to start a new
chapter as a postdoctoral researcher at the University
of California San Francisco (UCSF), Dr. Chung expressed his gratitude and
hopes for future research endeavors. CCADD members honored Dr. Chung’s new
journey with full hearts, celebrating his achievements and new beginning.
The gathering reaffirmed the strong bonds
within CCADD and emphasized the importance of interaction and collaboration
between alumni and current members. This event was more than just a meeting; it
was a moment of growth, support, and envisioning a shared future. We hope such
gatherings will continue, creating lasting and meaningful memories for all
CCADD members.
