[CIS, SSRC] Opening the New Year with the First SUITE Forum: Rethinking Career Paths

The first SUITE Forum of the year opened under the theme “Viewing Career and Life with a Long-Term Perspective.” To mark the beginning of the new year, the forum invited Keeyong Han, a career coach with extensive experience in Silicon Valley, to share insights on career development and life choices.

Drawing on a career that spans Samsung Electronics, entrepreneurship, startups, and academia, Han offered candid reflections on the importance of sustainable growth over quick decisions. His talk resonated particularly strongly with students, as he approached their concerns with a deep understanding shaped by his continued involvement in university programs such as AJ Media Rookies, where he has contributed as a mentor and advisor.

This forum served as a meaningful starting point for the year, providing an opportunity to pause, recalibrate, and reflect on how to design one’s career with patience and perspective rather than haste.
