| Fung Scholars Program |
|
In honor of her 50th Reunion in 2017, Julia Shen Fung ’67 committed to $5 million—the largest gift in Regis history—for the Now We Fly campaign to establish The Fung Scholars Program at Regis. Regis joins over 30 other universities around the world that have distinguished Fung Scholars, including Harvard, MIT, Northeastern, Boston College, and Princeton. Dean of Student Affairs Walt Horner and Assistant Director Alex Patturelli (pictured at left with students at Good Hope School, Julia Fung’s alma mater) recently traveled to Hong Kong to visit more than 250 prospective Fung Scholars at five schools.
