Junggi Yoon
Assistant Professor
Hi,
I love coffee, jazz club, trail running and skiing. I enjoy asking questions, challenging my own assumptions, and reframing ideas in new and creative ways. Somewhere between espresso shots and mountain trails, I'm still seeking the gateless gate. Life’s too short for bad coffee or boring weekends.
내게 주어진 하루만이
전 생애라고 생각하니
저만치서 행복이
웃으며 걸어왔다.
- 이해인, 시 <어떤 결심> 중.
