Published on

Robert Cheng-Tung Wang, 84, born on May 4, 1929, in Shanghai, China, passed away September 27, 2013.

Wang, an accomplished retired business executive, established a scholarship fund for Rossier students in memory and honor of his late father, lifetime educator and alumnus Dr. Yu- Kai Wang (MS ’35), who was a pioneer for education in China.

Since 1996, the Dr. Yu-Kai Wang and Mrs. Alice Ah-Chu Wang Endowed Scholarship Fund has helped many Rossier students studying to be high school and community college counselors.

A resident of Villa Park, California, Wang shared his father’s inspirational story with Futures in 2011.
