Educator’s Heirs Give $100,000 to UCI
The children of Ching-Suei Su, led by Jeannie and Richard Wu of Orange, have donated $100,000 to UC Irvine to create the Ching-Suei Su Endowed Memorial Scholarship for UCI students majoring in East Asian languages and literatures, Asian American studies or linguistics with an emphasis in an East Asian language.
The late Ching-Suei Su, a native of Taiwan, was an educator and administrator with a lifelong interest in studying and comparing cultures. Of his seven children, five followed in his footsteps and became teachers, including Jeannie Wu.
Beginning next fall, two $2,500 scholarships will be awarded annually from the endowment.
