The ceremonies were held over three days, Feb. 10–12, with separate events organized by each college. During the ceremonies, graduates shared the culmination of their academic achievements and took their first steps toward entering society.
On Feb. 25, KU also held the 77th Winter Commencement Ceremony for the Graduate School in the Main Building Conference Hall. A total of 1,918 students received degrees, including 43 doctoral, 200 master’s, and 1,675 bachelor’s degree recipients.

In his commencement address, President Park Jae Kyu noted that this year marks the 80th anniversary of KU. Despite challenging domestic and global circumstances, he said, the university has continued to carry out major national projects while sustaining its proud educational tradition. He encouraged graduates—who persevered through the pandemic and unfamiliar online and offline learning environments—to move forward confidently into an era of change and innovation with a spirit of creativity and challenge.
