Po Goo Nyo Goan Selected as a 2024 Excellent Hanok House of Seoul
Po Goo Nyo Goan Selected as a 2024 Excellent Hanok House of Seoul Po Goo Nyo Goan, located within Ewha’s College of Medicine and Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital, was selected as one of the 2024 Excellent Hanok Houses of Seoul, announced by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Established in October 1887 by missionary Mary F. Scranton near Ewha Haktang in Jeong-dong, Po Goo Nyo Goan was Korea’s first modern women’s hospital and medical education institution for women, as well as the predecessor to Ewha Womans University’s College of Medicine and Ewha Womans University Medical Center. The name Po Goo Nyo Goan (普救女館), meaning “a place that widely protects and saves women,” was bestowed by Emperor Gojong. Located in Jeong-dong, Po Goo Nyo Goan was used as an annex to Ewha Haktang after 1914, but faded into history with the establishment of Ewha Kindergarten in 1921. In 2019, alongside the opening of Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital in Magok-dong, Gangseo-gu, Po Goo Nyo Goan was restored to continue its founding spirit of “service and sharing.” The current Po Goo Nyo Goan has been restored to its original state based on the diary of Rosetta Hall, who was the third director of the hospital, and rebuilt as a 128 m2 hanok (traditional Korean house). The structure faithfully replicates the original layout, including operating rooms, patient rooms, and consultation rooms, allowing visitors to experience the atmosphere of Po Goo Nyo Goan in its era. The site also features exhibition areas dedicated to Dr. Esther Kim Pak, past Po Goo Nyo Goan directors, and a nurse training institution. Visitors can explore the interior, which houses old photographs and artifacts, free of charge on weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (closed for lunchtime from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., as well as on weekends and public holidays). Detailed explanations from archive staff are also available upon request.

Since its first showing at the ECC in 2018, the Ewha’s Houses of Christmas have been set up each December around campus to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus and to share the warm glow of love with everyone who visits Ewha.
Exploring Challenges and Opportunities: The 1st Ewha-Asan UniverCT Climate Tech Entrepreneurship Forum
Exploring Challenges and Opportunities: The 1st Ewha-Asan UniverCT Climate Tech Entrepreneurship Forum The Ewha University-Industry Collaboration Foundation (EUICF) hosted the 1st Ewha-Asan UniverCT Climate Tech Entrepreneurship Forum at the auditorium of the University-Industry Collaboration Building on November 26, 2024 (Tue.). As part of the Ewha-Asan UniverCT (University x Climate Tech) program, this forum was designed to raise awareness of climate tech and entrepreneurship, while identifying and supporting female climate-tech entrepreneurs. In March 2024, Ewha Womans University and the Asan Nanum Foundation signed an agreement to spread the culture of climate-tech startups and nurture climate-tech entrepreneurs. Based on this agreement, Ewha has worked to establish a climate-tech startup track in its undergraduate programs and organize various events, including boot camps and forums, with the aim of enhancing students’ awareness of the climate crisis and strengthening their capabilities in climate-tech entrepreneurship. In the first session of this forum, entitled “Challenges and Opportunities in the Climate Tech Era,” lectures were given by Shin-Young Ahn, CEO of A-Stone Ventures, on “Opportunities for Female Entrepreneurs from the Perspective of a Venture Capital CEO,” and by Professor Ji Hun Park of the Department of Science Education on “From Lab to Market.” This was followed by a talk show focusing on venture capital and entrepreneurship. In the second session, Jae-Hong Park, CEO of Code of Nature, took the stage as a speaker to share his insights on climate-tech entrepreneurship. The EUICF discovered 15 climate-tech startup teams through the Ewha-Asan UniverCT program. Among them, “CarbonSings” introduced a retrofit solution for CO2 reduction devices based on artificial photosynthesis technology, while “Birna” developed eco-friendly antifouling paint made from protein-degrading enzymes and alginic acid derived from marine byproducts. Both teams advanced to the University Integrated Demo Day and were selected as alumni of the Asan Nanum Foundation, qualifying for follow-up support such as recommendations for venture capital investors and opportunities to participate in growth support programs. In addition, the Ewha-Asan UniverCT program team has been offering interdisciplinary courses, seminars, and forums to introduce climate-tech entrepreneurship to students who are unfamiliar with the field. To explore various approaches to tackling the climate crisis, the team has established a climate-tech startup track and launched a liberal arts course titled “Understanding Climate Tech and Entrepreneurship.” The EUICF plans to continue supporting students by lowering the barriers to climate-tech entrepreneurship and empowering them to take the lead in shaping their careers through various curricular and extracurricular programs. Additionally, it aims to expand the “Ewha-Asan UniverCT” brand further.
