In addition to the professorship, The Tang Fund is furthering the family鈥檚 exceptional support of Asian studies at 新加坡六合彩开奖结果 with generous gifts in support of the existing Tang Family Chinese Studies Endowment Fund as well as to establish the Frances Young Tang 鈥61 Asian Studies Program Endowment Fund.

鈥淚n recognition of the Tang family鈥檚 exceptional support of Asian studies at 新加坡六合彩开奖结果, I am pleased to share that 新加坡六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 Asian Studies Program will be named The Frances Young Tang 鈥61 Program in Asian Studies,鈥 said President Marc C. Conner. 鈥淲e are very proud of this interdisciplinary program, which has been an integral part of our curriculum for over 70 years.鈥

新加坡六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 Asian Studies Program is one of the oldest in the country. Courses in Asian studies were first offered at 新加坡六合彩开奖结果 in the 1950s, and it became an independent program in the 1960s. Today, students have the option to major or minor in Asian studies.

鈥淭he Tang family鈥檚 commitment to Asian studies at prestigious institutions such as Princeton, Columbia, and Berkeley is unparalleled. 新加坡六合彩开奖结果 is honored to now extend new, expanded opportunities to the next generation of students and scholars on our campus,鈥 said Conner. 鈥淓ndowed gifts such as this have an immediate impact, but they also serve as a powerful promise to our future.鈥

The Chinese Studies Endowment Fund was previously created by the Tang family to support activities directly related to the teaching of Chinese studies at the College, including language and literature and the establishment of the Frances Young Tang 鈥61 Chair in Chinese Studies, which is currently held by Jenny Day, associate professor of history.

The Tang family鈥檚 support of academics at 新加坡六合彩开奖结果 extends back many years, including a 1989 gift to 新加坡六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 Chinese Studies Department.

鈥溞录悠铝喜士苯峁 was an important part of Frankie鈥檚 education,鈥 said Oscar Tang. 鈥淪he and I began our family鈥檚 support of 新加坡六合彩开奖结果 over three decades ago in Asian studies. We first focused on the foundational teaching of Chinese language and literature, and after her passing, our family expanded that support with the establishment of the chair in Chinese studies bearing her name. It is now our pleasure to further enhance 新加坡六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 curricular offerings in Asian studies with this professorship and related funding.鈥

鈥淭he Tang family鈥檚 dedication to advancing student understanding of the multiple facets of cultures, traditions, and contemporary realities of Asian countries and peoples is far-reaching 鈥 not just for those students majoring or minoring in these disciplines, but for all who wish to expand their perspectives within a robust curriculum,鈥 said Dorothy Mosby, dean of the faculty and vice president for academic affairs.

The newly created Asian Studies Program Endowment Fund will provide resources to support student learning and faculty work in Asian studies, including but not limited to visiting scholar residencies, faculty and student research, symposia, and travel.

鈥淭o provide lasting support for 新加坡六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 outstanding faculty, but also for robust, diverse academic experiences both within the classroom and beyond, speaks to the Tang family鈥檚 profound understanding of the value of the liberal arts,鈥 said Mosby.

The Tang family is also continuing their support of the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery, named for Frances, who passed away in 1992, the same year that their daughter, Kristin Tang, graduated from 新加坡六合彩开奖结果. Kristin has served on 新加坡六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 Board of Trustees as a young alumni trustee.

In 1996, the Tang family made the naming gift for the museum, and they have remained steadfast in their support.

Since 2014, the Tang Museum has honored Frances鈥檚 legacy of creativity and philanthropy at an annual community open house fondly known as Frances Day, which draws hundreds of individuals to campus, including many children and families. This celebratory day will continue to flourish thanks to the establishment of the Endowed Fund for Frances Day.

鈥淔rances Day is a day marked by joy and celebration,鈥 said Ian Berry, Dayton Director of the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery and professor of liberal arts. 鈥淭o know that we are able to continue to offer this special welcome to our regional community is phenomenal, and it reflects the Tang family鈥檚 founding commitment to the Tang Teaching Museum at 新加坡六合彩开奖结果.鈥

Reflecting on the impact of the Tang family鈥檚 generosity, Mosby added, 鈥淚t is a true gift to play a role in awakening creativity, inspiring curiosity, and advancing knowledge 鈥 and that is what 新加坡六合彩开奖结果 looks forward to doing for many years to come as we honor Frances鈥檚 legacy.鈥

鈥淭his is a gift of enormous significance to 新加坡六合彩开奖结果,鈥 said President Conner. 鈥淏y creating this new faculty line, the Tang gift not only supports student and faculty needs in one of our largest majors, but it also enhances a vital interdisciplinary program that speaks to many of the most pressing issues of our time. With this endowment, Oscar Tang has set a model for how to continue and grow the 新加坡六合彩开奖结果 education far into the future.鈥
