National Assembly member Choi Eun-seok, who represents Daegu's Dong-gu and Gunwi-gun, visited Daegu Cyber University on Friday to hear concerns from the education community and discuss ways to foster mutual growth between the university and the region.
Daegu Cyber University President Lee Geun-yong and senior administrators attended the visit.
Choi toured campus facilities, received briefings on the school foundation and the university, and watched a video about the late Rev. Seongsan Lee Young-sik, the founder of the school corporation.
A roundtable discussion that followed covered key issues facing cyber universities, the status of strategic systems being built to advance higher education, and ways to strengthen policy support and cooperation.
"I am grateful you came to see us in person," Lee said. "I hope the voices from the education community will be reflected in policy and serve as a catalyst for the university's development."
Choi said he would carefully review the opinions gathered during the visit and work through his legislative activities to help the university and the region grow together.
