Korean Air President Elected to USC’s Board of Trustees
The president and chief executive officer of Korean Air has been elected to the University of Southern California’s board of trustees, it was announced Monday.
Yang Ho Cho is a 1979 graduate of USC’s Marshall School of Business and a member of the graduate program’s CEO advisory board. He is also a vice president of the airline’s parent, Hanjin Group.
Cho and his family endow scholarships for Korean-American students by supporting the university’s Korean Heritage Library, and the Chos have funded teaching and research in South Korea by USC professors, USC officials said.
“As a leader of Korean Air and the Hanjin Group, Dr. Cho has made a major impact on the business environment throughout the Pacific Rim,” said USC President Steven Sample.
