The University of Michigan Korean Studies Program was founded in 1995 with the help of UM faculty, the UM International Institute, students, Korean-American alumni, and the Korea Foundation. One of the major benefactors of the Program was UM alumnus Elder Sang-Yong Nam, and with his wife Moon-Sook Nam helped build it to a level of national prominence, and it was elevated to UM Center status in 2007. In late 2010 it was formally re-inaugurated as the Nam Center for Korean Studies, and this new brochure reflects the name change. The image on the cover was created by Korean artist Suh Gong Im, and is a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Korean folk image of the tiger.
