Prof. Park Myung-seok, a professor emeritus at Dankook University, is the winner of the 2016 Outstanding Volunteer Award from the East-West Center Association (WCA), the association announced in a statement.
"The award recognizes what is best in a volunteer including service to something beyond oneself, a willingness to contribute time and effort without pay, and a donation of time and effort beyond one's normal responsibilities," it said.
"Your outstanding support for the East-West Center serves as an important and model for others to follow. We are proud to count you as one of the most inspirational members of the EWC community," it added.
Prof. Park will receive the award during the EWC/EWCA International conference which will be held from Jan. 15 to 17, 2016, in Manila.
Park graduated from Hankuk university of Foreign Studies with a B.A. in English language in 1961. He also received a Ph.D. in literature from the university.
