Professor Han Young Lee Retirement Ceremony

Date: May 21st, 2026

Venue: ACTS Chapel

We celebrated not only the retirement of Professor Han Young Lee, but also the countless lives he has touched through his wisdom, kindness, and dedication.

We sincerely wish you a joyful and blessed retirement filled with peace, happiness, and new adventures ahead.

On May 21st, a retirement service for Professor Lee Han-young was held during the Thursday Chapel service. During the program, Professor Lee delivered a valuable message titled "The Essence of Theology." In his sermon, Professor Lee conveyed that "theology is not a 'discipline for understanding,' but a path that enables us to live in trust in God." Additionally, AIGS students performed a special song, student Diana gave a farewell address, and Rev. Lim Chae-young of West Holiness Church and Dr. Paul Changha Lim of the University of Florida offered congratulatory remarks. Rev. Lee Jang-ho, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, administered the benediction.

Professor Lee was appointed as a Professor of Old Testament Studies at our university in September 2000 and taught Old Testament-related courses across the undergraduate, general, and theological schools, as well as the Institute for Advanced Studies (AIGS), for the past 26 years. He also made significant contributions to school administration and student guidance. In particular, he helped international students at the Institute of International Education (AIGS) adapt to the new environment in Korea, and supported students facing financial difficulties as well as psychological and mental challenges by providing personal sponsorship and close counseling so they could focus on their studies. Furthermore, through active external activities, he identified sponsors and provided financial support, significantly contributing to international students successfully completing their studies and returning to their home countries. Professor Lee Han-young’s dedication and passion, sparing no time or resources, serve as an inspiration to everyone. Professor Han Young Lee Retirement Video 2026-1_이한영교수님 - Google Drive
