Every year, KUSCO has awarded 20 scholarships to graduate students exhibiting promise in the field of S&E. However, as KSEA’s annual UKC meeting, the regular venue for the award ceremony has been moved online due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, KUSCO hosted its own online award ceremony on August 26 to recognize the hard work and excellence of this year’s recipients. Thirteen graduate students who were selected this year attended the online award ceremony. Each participant had the chance to meet each other, share their research interests, and learn about KUSCO’s role in facilitating the exchange of ideas among Korean S&E scholars and professional communities based in the US. KUSCO is looking forward to the chance to meet these talented young scholars next year at UKC 2021.
