Jeonghoon Ha currently serves as a political researcher at the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Washington, DC. Prior to this position, he worked as a research intern in the Korea Chair and the Japan Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies(CSIS). He received his B.S. in Foreign Service from Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service in 2011 and will pursue a Master's in East Asian Studies at Stanford University.

"Learning from great scholars such as Professors Victor Cha, Michael Green and Pamela Sodhy greatly enhanced my understanding of East Asia and prepared me for a job that deals extensively with ROK-US Relations and US strategy in the Asia-Pacific. In addition, learning experiences at GU Asian Studies program helped me enormously throughout my graduate school application process. Therefore, I would advise students to fully utilize learning opportunities available through our Asian Studies department."
