T.K. "Patrick" Sung (M.S. '69 and Ph.D. '72, chemical engineering) and his wife, Marguerite (B.S. '70, mathematics) established an endowed research fellowship in mathematics in 2007 to support excellent graduate students. Both born in China, the Sungs met at the University of Maryland as students and have gone on to work for Nu Skin Enterprises. Says Dr. Sung of the fellowship, “This is the place that gave us our start, so what better way to show our gratitude.”
