Dear KDIS Dormitory Residents,

    

As you all may know, ‘Korean Thanksgiving Day(Chuseok)’ is one of the biggest and most important holidays in Korea. Family members from near and far come together to share food and stories and to give thanks to their ancestors.

In 2017, Chuseok Day falls on October 4. As the day before and the day after are also part of the holiday, this year’s full holiday period will take place for ten days at the longest, from September 30 to October 9, including the weekends, National Foundation Day on October 3, and Hangeul Day on October 9.

 

 

 

Please refer to the following information that may help you find out the way to have a great time with your friends during the holiday. Since most of the school amenities will be closed during the holiday, you’d better buy and stack up some food and snacks.

 

 

1. Safety Precautions    

 

    If something happens, you should let your DAs and housemasters know right away.

     - Infection Prevention

       · Wash your hands often with soap and water. Germs can survive in many places around your kitchen, including your hands, etc.
