Distinguished Alumni Citation

While you were sleeping...

In the wee hours of Friday morning (ACU time), July 17, Alumni Relations Director Larry Musick and Vice President for Development Dr. John Tyson were in South Korea presenting Du Hyun (Duke) Jung ('64) (right, with his brother, Young Hyun) with the Distinguished Alumni Citation. Joined by family, friends, and business associates, the event was held at Seoul City Club at 7 p.m. local time on that Friday in Seoul.

Jung is the Chairman of Chunma Corporation, a global trading company he co-founded more than 25 years ago with his brother, Young Hyun. Jung has also been active in his local church of more than 100,000 members and was a leader in South Korea's National Day of Prayer last week.

Jung is one of five recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Citation in 2009, joining Norman Bales ('57), Dr. John Crosby ('58), Robert Reagan ('84), and John Samuel ('85) as this year's honorees.

Congratulations, Duke!
