Gangwon State University
[1] Unlike most public tertiary institutions in South Korea, it is administered directly by the provincial government of Gangwon-do.The college is located in Jumunjin-eup, north of Gangneung's city center.[2][3] The president of GPU reports directly to the governor of Gangwon Province.The campus itself is open to the general public, and the school's departments have closely linked with local industries.For example, the college has a leading role in establishing a ‘Jumunjin Brand Squid’, whose name ‘Jumunjingeo’ combines the name of the town as well as the Korean word for fish.
