Duke University ACLS Fellow, Dr. Cheehyung Kim, Guest Speaker Event

April 12, 2013

We were fortunate to host Dr. Cheehyung Kim, Duke University ACLS fellow in the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, as a guest speaker on April 12, 2013. In his talk titled, "North Korea, War Making and the International Community", Dr. Kim gave an insightful discussion about the current events and situation surrounding North Korea in a historical and global context. He addressed issues of the nuclear program, refugees and power transfer and the fundamental questions of our perspectives of North Korea as a place and people.
Thanks to all the Georgia Tech students that came out to the event. We had a full house with over sixty students in attendance. The Question and Answer session was great thanks to all the perceptive questions from GT students. Also, special thanks go to Professor Seok-bae Jang, our faculty advisor, who made this event possible in organizing and coordinating the event.

LiNK members supported the first Zero TB America Health Conference, which was held on September 8, 2012. The event featured Dr. Kenneth Munro Scott, a thoracic surgeon who spent his youth working as a missionary in the Koreas during the years following the Korean War. His missionary work in passing on teachings in medicine has left a lasting impact on the progress on medicine in Korea. His current organization, Christian Friends of Korea continues to reach out in philanthropy through medicine to North Korea.

Rear Admiral Dr. Kenneth Castro who is Director of the Division of Tuberculosis (TB) Elimination at the Center of Disease Control and Prevention also spoke on the current status of Tuberculosis in the United States and the world. He provided insight into the CDC's plan of elimination of Tuberculosis. To learn more about Dr. Castro's work, please visit his page here.
