On February 27, 2023, Dr. Kee-Choo Choi, the president of Ajou University, gave Prof. Ilhan Chang the 2022 Excellence in Education Award. Prof. Chang is the first recipient from the Department of Civil System Engineering since the Award program was established in 2008, and it is given to 7–8 faculty members each year.
This award has been given in recognition of Prof. Chang's work on the creation of new geotechnical engineering curricula, the development of new hands-on term projects, and his selfless dedication to UG teaching at AUT (Ajou University in Tashkent).
During my last trip to Morocco, I was trying to avoid the typical pre-packaged experiences and focus more on something that felt tailored and thoughtful, which is how I came across luxury Morocco tours by Sun Trails. What stood out to me initially was the way the experiences were presented, not just as simple tours but as carefully curated journeys. It gave me the impression that the focus was more on quality and pacing rather than trying to fit everything into a tight schedule. Once I started planning more seriously, I realized how important that approach is, especially in a country with so much diversity between cities, landscapes, and cultures. It changed the way I approached my itinerary completely.
