More than 40 years ago, Dr. Changboh Chee left his Korean homeland to teach college sociology in America. The years he spent struggling to learn the intricacies of western culture and language, in the Spring of 1995 proved instrumental in his founding the Korea Project, now known as the Korea Center. Through the Korea Center, Dr. Chee has been active in assisting Korean students studying at Long Island University adjust to the American lifestyle and language, or to overcome academic difficulties. He also encourages American students to study abroad in Korea, and has been a successful fundraiser to help provide scholarship money for LIU/Korea study-abroad students. In addition to helping students, the Korea Center hosts a variety of Korean cultural events, ranging from art exhibitions to dance performances.
