International Students' Day
November 17th is seen worldwide as the 'International Students Day' because on this day in 1939 the Czechoslovakian students fell victim to the Nazis. On 17 November 1939 the Nazis stormed the dormitories of the University in Prague. More than 1200 students were send to concentration camps, 9 student representatives were executed on the spot, the university was shut down and the buildings were used by the German occupation forces. Students from all Europe fled to London and there the International Students Council, in accordance with the allies, declared 17 November as the 'International Students Day'. Since then 17 November has marked important student events all over the world.
Jeju National University International Students Organization congratulates all its members with this remarkable date.
