Sungshin Women's University

The school name of Sungshin ('誠信') was generated at the time when school foundation was established and its etymological origin lies in the phrase of "身致其誠信" from Liji((Rites Records). Founder, Woonjung, Dr. Lee Suk-jong thought that if there is faith outside and sincere inside, one can achieve anything.
