The Wall of Fame is a tribute to the patrons who have donated to GIST as well as those who have left an indelible mark on the growth and evolution of GIST. There is sufficient space for future patrons of GIST to be added to the Wall of Fame.

Perhaps the most touching moment of the dedication ceremony came when Professor Kiseon Kim of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science donated 100,000,000 won for the student scholarship fund, demonstrating his commitment not only to the school but to the students as well.
GIST President Seung Hyeon Moon said, "The GIST Promotion Hall and Wall of Fame is a culmination of the last 20 years of GIST"s history and will now be used to clearly communicate the vision and future direction of GIST to visitors as well as to the local community."
