To insure the continuation of the program he and his wife Mary donated the funds for the new scholarship. Interested students may apply through the scholarship office by Feb. 1, 2001. Last year s recipient was Annie Wong, WSU student majoring in cultural anthropology minoring in Asian Studies. I felt very blessed and honored for the scholarship provided by the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce, Wong said. A great learning opportunity was given to me through the Asian Studies program.
Globalization is the direction our future is heading.
It s good to be diverse. Wong would like to see more courses offered in Asian Studies such as different languages. To fulfill a life long goal she would like to learn Chinese. However, Japanese is the only language offered through Asian Studies program. Language study is particularly important in the Asian Studies program.
