For many years now, through CPU and KUMA’s partnership, CPU faculty members have been given the opportunity to become foreign exchange professors in South Korea.

Currently, Prof. Carmela Quiatchon, a faculty member from the University Senior High School, is one of KUMA’s foreign exchange professors.
