Park Chung Hee School of Policy and Saemaul (PSPS) held a graduation ceremony for the PSPS Class of 2022 on 22 August 2023 at Sapphire Hall, Chunma Art Center. At PSPS, 40 students from 17 countries earned their master's degrees.

Yeungnam University President Choi Oe-Chool and PSPS Dean Lee Byeong-Wan attended to congratulate students on their graduation. 

President Choi said in his congratulatory remarks, “The knowledge and capabilities honed at PSPS will lead regional development and innovation in your home country and become a driving force for contributing to human society. Today's graduation ceremony will be a new starting point for the unknown world.” Also, “I hope you will have the courage and wisdom to initiate the development of your region and country through the knowledge you have learned here. Furthermore, I hope you all become proud alumni who will lead the prosperity of the global community.”

In his congratulatory speech, Dean Lee said students had unforgettable precious experiences at PSPS and he hoped them to put these memories closest to their heart. He also delivered three requests to students who will open a new chapter in their lives after graduation today. First of all, while our global society is facing many difficulties today, the values pursued by the PSPS, especially the "Can do spirit”, will guide the way. Secondly, he emphasized that we should be steadily connected through many great networks formed by the PSPS. Above all, he stressed that our society needs unity and coordination, and that we should be able to connect with alumni and professors through various platforms. Finally, he insisted that both Faculty and the admin staff are looking forward to seeing your achievements and glory in your future, and they hope to be actively delivered news of your accomplishment on various platforms. In addition, he put emphasis on that the PSPS now is your home, and you're always welcome back. 

Savene Kadijah, who gave the valedictory speech, expressed his gratitude to the PSPS faculty and staff and stated, “As we leave this chapter of our lives behind, let us remember the lessons we have learned, the friendships we have made, and the experiences we have shared. Let us take these with us as we embark on the next phase of our journey. Essentially, let us embrace the spirits of Saemaul Undong to impact our respective societies. Let us always remember that the weapon of knowledge we have acquired will thrive through diligence, cooperation, and self-help, together with sharing, creativity and service. I strongly believe that with these weapons of change entrusted to us, we are more determined than ever before to foster development in our communities and respective countries. Lastly, I will be failing in my duty if I don’t appreciate you all for the great honour and humble privilege bestowed on me to serve you as President of the 2022 batch Student Council. You were indeed great people to serve and work with!”
