Eight educators visited Korea accompanied by Yong Jin Choi, Vice President of Korean Studies at The Korea Society, and Mark Peterson, Professor of Korean Studies at Brigham Young University. They were selected from across the professional spectrum, including professors, directors of education, a state-level educational administrator and a secondary school principal. The program included lectures and discussions on topics of current interest, guided tours, and opportunities for on-site study in locales of historic and contemporary relevance in Korea.
