Last 10 issue of SM News, I visited the Sangmyung University Museum where we can learn about the history of Sangmyung. In this issue to celebrate this 85th anniversary, I will introduce the space in Sangmyung University where we can find the history of Sangmyung.

Freshmen attend required Computer classes in the Administration Building so students are used to this building. The lobby, first floor of the building Administration Building, we can find the history of Sangmyung. The lobby of the Administration Building is like a miniature Sangmyung University Museum.

  There is the Gyedang Memorial Hall in Sangmyung Seoul Campus. Gyedang Memorial Hall is located on the heights of the Sangmyung Seoul Campus.The Gyedang Memorial Hall was established to commemorate the achievements of Dr. Bae Sang-myung and to inherit the educational news of the teacher who devoted her life to saving education. This memorial hall preserves the building used by Gyedang as an official residence, and displays various paintings, ceramics, folk crafts, which were collected throughout her life, and cultural assets donated by Soyeon Bang Jung-bok. This memorial hall serves as another museum at Sangmyung University.
