Dear KUEFI Organizers,
Thank you so much for providing my teammates and I with the opportunity to return to Korea and participate in KUEFI this year. We had a fantastic time fencing, learning about athletics in Korea and enjoying the all the beauty Jeju has to offer. We also made lasting friendships with Korean students who we never would have met if not for KUEFI. It was truly the experience of a lifetime. Sincerely, Christine. |

I want to take the time to thank the KUEFI 2013 organizing committee as well as Jimi Jung for an outstanding trip this summer. For the past two years that I have participated at KUEFI, it has proved to be a valuable experience and opportunity, and at that, one that I will likely never forget. Thank you for all of the effort, time, and resources you have put forth each year to bring this event to fruition. Thank you! April. |

My experience at KUEFI this summer was unforgettable. Not only was I given the opportunity to fence challenging opponents, but also the chance to experience the rich culture of Korea and explore the beautiful island of Jeju. I am so appreciative of how welcoming and kind the organizers and volunteers were. I am truly grateful that I was given the opportunity to attend KUEFI this summer and will always hold on to the memories I made there. Angelica. |

I had an amazing experience in Jeju this past summer, both on and off the strip. I am so appreciative for the KUEFI organization for extending the generous invitation to so many American fencers. I learned so much about the Korean culture and was so pleased with how eager the KIS students were to speak with us about our fencing and education experiences. I hope I was of some help to them and they enjoyed themselves as much as I enjoyed my time there! Thank you for all the hard work that is put into the event, and I hope to be able to go back to Korea sometime in the future. Olivia. |

I want to say thank you so much to the organizers of KUEFI. I never thought I would have the chance to see South Korea and because of your generosity I have been there twice! Through the spirit of good natured competition, we have learned so much about fencing in South Korea and Korean culture. The dedication of your fencers inspired us. I hopein the future more American fencers can visit South Korea and see all what your country has to offer. Andrey. |

This year's KUEFI event was a culturally enriching and amazing trip. The event was very well-run and competing with the Korean fencers was a great experience. The "Education Through Athletics" Seminar and the "Run for Loves" event were also a wonderful part of the overall competition. |

I would first like to say thank you to Jimi Jung and everyone involved in the KUEFI organization. I have participated in this tournament two years now and both tournaments have been fantastic experiences. Not only was there great fencing, but I enjoyed meeting the Korean students….Thank you for inviting me to participate in this event and teaching me about Korea and its fantastic culture. |

Fencing at KUEFI this past summer was extremely rewarding and memorable. I enjoyed interacting with other students throughout the trip, learning about the culture of Korea, and exploring the beautiful island of Jeju! I found the Education Through Athletics presentation very moving and believe it was an essential part of my overall experience--reiterating the purpose and importance of KUEFI and its values. Additionally, I would like to thank Jimi Jung all of the event organizers for their incredible hospitality, and I hope to return in the future. |
