President LEE Hee-beom of the PyeongChang Organising Committee for the 2018 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (POCOG) was in Washington, D.C, USA, to sign a memorandum of understanding with the George Washington University, which will send a group of student volunteers to PyeongChang in 2018.
The university intends to provide between 40-50 student volunteers for both the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games who will be allocated roles in a variety of functional areas, including press services, medical support and language services. In order to be participated in the program, students will have to complete a university application sharing their interests, previous experience and relevant course work to ensure the best candidates are selected for this opportunity during their undergraduate and graduate studies.
