Establishment of KSEA-TAMU Student Chapter!

The Korean-American Scientists and ­Engineers Association at Texas A&M University (KSEA-TAMU) has been approved and recognized officially by the university as of September 04, 2006. The core staffs of the KSEA SW Chapter already hosted the global leadership seminar in the early of 2006 on Texas A&M campus. The first successful KSEA event motivated the necessity of a student chapter in Aggieland, since TAMU is one of the largest academic institutions educating many Korean/Korean-American students and nurturing future Korean scientists and engineers in the US. By establishing KSEA-TAMU, it is expected to promote the awareness on KSEA to Korean students and enhance the connection between KSEA SW State Chapter and KSEA members at TAMU. KSEA-TAMU will provide available resources to support KSEA HQs/KSEA SW State Chapter activities.
