During summer vacation, 8 KIU students visited Silicon Valley in San Francisco and held a conference detailing their visit on November 16th. From August 19th to 25th, 8 KIU students visited Silicon Valley, an area in California known for its high-tech business ventures. The 8 students were chosen as part of the second Oversea Intensive Corps.

According to Choi Kyung Hee, a senior in the business department, Google, which started as a very small venture company, has now developed into the world���s best competitive company.
She also added, ���I���ve heard Google is so friendly and liberal, but it also needs to consider autonomic responsibility and performance. And the leader���s requirement in a start-up business is a sense of humor, so the creative idea comes from free communication, not force.���

Student Choi Byung Kyu, a senior majoring in business, said ���It was a good time. I could see students from different majors get together and discuss new items and I want to give opportunities to our KIU students as the chief of KIURA.���
The president of KIU, Chung Hyun Tae said, ���I will try to give more opportunities for studying abroad programs and encourage ongoing improvements in our students who are interested in start-up business.���
