Vision of Alumni Chapters all around the World
Easily founded and led by KAIST international alumni, with help from current country-based student
associations at KAIST
International in KIAA means worldwide, so it is for both international and Korean alumni
- There are already alumni associations geared to Korean alumni (naturally), but we strongly believe our association should remain desegregated between internationals and Koreans at KAIST and at Local and International Chapters we establish.
- Initially it may seem like an association driven by just international students, but Koreans are welcome to join and assist us (even perform crucial roles, such as organizing job fairs with Korean companies).
Membership
The Association has the following categories of members:
(1) Regular members and
(2) Honorary members
(1) Regular members are those
