ISSA began to be planned in October 2021, when Sahmyook University held the ICSU (International Virtual Conference of Sahmyook University) 2021, commemorating the university’s 115th anniversary. Based on the participation of more than 120 Adventist universities worldwide, the conference, composed of 5 divisions and 12 sessions, was successfully concluded with 1,032 professors, researchers, and students from 54 countries registering.
Sahmyook University promoted the establishment of an international society to build an active global network. The academic organization and articles of the association were prepared, and the website was established. Sister universities worldwide sent their support and intention to participate, leading to the official establishment of the society.
Kim IlMok was elected as the first ISAA president, and Ko WonBae, dean of Sahmyook University College of Science and Technology, and Kim SeongWoon, dean of the Sahmyook University College of Culture and Arts, were elected as auditors.
