Longtime campus supporters Chiu-Shan Chen Ph.D. ’69 and Rufina Chen have committed $5 million to the University of California San Diego, one of the largest individual gifts to the Division of Arts and Humanities.
Contributing to the Campaign for UC San Diego, this gift will establish a new Center for Taiwan Studies within the division, and highlights the alum’s deep commitment to both giving back, and supporting programs that expand cultural understanding of Taiwan and Taiwanese Americans.
