Ray - ------------------------------------------ FULBRIGHT KOREA eNEWS KOREAN-AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL COMMISSION VOLUME 1, NO. 4 (DECEMBER 1999) Contents: 1. Fulbright is moving 2. Alumni contribute generously to building fund 3. Fiftieth Anniversary celebrations 4. New address and telephone - ------------------------------------------------------ 1. FULBRIGHT IS MOVING!!! KAEC's building purchase has been our top news for most of 1999 - looking, finding, losing, looking again, finding again, bidding, losing again, looking again, finding again, buying. Several months were spent just registering the building, which was successfully done (after great effort by Mrs. Jai Ok Shim, the Deputy Director) in the name of the Korean-American Educational Commission itself as a tax-exempt non-profit educational organization. Next was housing construction in the building - on November 1 nine grantees and the Associate Director moved into the new (small) apartments in the building. The step-by-step process continues. Fulbright still has to move out of the offices in the Kohap Building it has occupied for 15 years. The administrative offices, the ETS testing operation, the counseling center. KAEC turns out to be BIG when you want to move it. On December 11 the administrative offices of the KAEC, including the Executive Director and his staff, will move to Mapo to the "Fulbright Building." The ETS testing operation moves by the end of the year, while the advising center is under construction on the first floor. In January the new Fulbright Advising Center will be opened with a formal ceremony, ribbon cutting, open house, and a New Year's Reception (for solar AND lunar New Year). The date will be announcedsoon - we hope everyone will come and see the place! 2. ALUMNI CONTRIBUTIONS POUR IN! Fulbright in Korea has been blessed beyond measure by the generosity of our Alumni! The KAEC has never before held a major fundraising effort among alumni, but the promise of alumni support was important in the decision to purchase the Fulbright Building. And the alumni are living up to their promise! Even though the Fulbright Building Fund Drive has only been going for a few weeks, already over 100 alumni have pledged over 140 million won ($120,000) over the next three years. 50 million won ($40,000) has already been donated in cash and delivered to the bank to reduce the size of the loan which was taken out for the building. We continue to be grateful to the alumni not only for the generosity of their contributions (the average is over one million won, or over $850) but for the wide range and number of contributors. 3. FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY YEAR. In a fine convergence of events, the formal opening of the Fulbright Advising Center and the Fulbright Building and the reception will be the first of many events in the Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration Year. The original Fulbright agreement was signed between the Republic of Korea and the United States of America on April 28, 1950, just before the Korean War. The year 2000, our 50th year, will be marked with a series of events starting with the Ribbon Cutting and Open House in January, retrospective and prospective meetings of the Fulbright Forum, a Fulbright Distinguished Visiting Lecture Series in various cities and with various regional alumni groups throughout the country (to be delivered by Dr. Richard Fogarty, Distinguished Roving Fulbright Lecturer and editor of the Antioch Review), and culminating in a Gala Celebration and Banquet in Seoul on Friday, April 28, 2000. Save the date! There will be plenty of occasions to join Fulbright in celebrating its first Fifty Years. 4. NEW ADDRESS AND PHONE. Only the email address stays the same.

Greetings, On Monday, December 6th, Guard Up, Inc. and the Waltham Athletic Club hosted a Cooperative Learning Exchange (CLE) on Underwater Self Defense. We had a good turnout with local police officers, law enforcement trainers, martial artists and grapplers and even a few Navy Seal Team 6 trainers. We spent over 2 hours in the water (despite blue lips) devising and tweaking various self defense and control techniques to use on drowning victims or against attackers intent on drowning you. Shortly after we began, we were joined by Janet Wu from CBS (Channel 7 in Boston) as she jumped into the pool, clothes and all, and got right in on the action. The news piece is called "7 on Assignment" and is slated to air on Monday the 13th at 4PM for those in the Boston/Metro area. We were also joined by a reporter/ju jutsu practitioner from the Boston Sports Journal magazine. Look for an article and pics in an upcoming edition. We were very pleased with the way everyone worked together to point out shortcomings and benefits of various techniques. We had no ego-clashing and all learned something new to take home. Our next CLE is going to be Fighting On Ice... learning self defense and apprehension on slippery surfaces. Date/Location is to be determined... but Channel 7 wants to cover that event as well. For more information about CLE's and to see pictures from the Underwater Self Defense course, go to: http://www.guardup.com Hope the holidays find you all in good spirits. M.
