This is the place that gave us our start, so what better way to show our gratitude.
Alumni Donate $1.5M to Endow Two CHBE Professorships
T.K. "Patrick" Sung (M.S. '69 and Ph.D. '72, chemical engineering) and his wife, Marguerite (B.S. '70, mathematics), met as students at College Park, which still holds a special place in their hearts. "The campus was the setting for the first experiences of our adult lives in America," says Marguerite. "It makes it even more worthwhile to see the high quality of programs at Maryland.” Patrick agrees,"The university's progress is amazing."
“This is the place that gave us our start, so what better way to show our gratitude.”
After having careers as an intellectual property lawyer and and computer programmer, the pair joined Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc., a global direct-selling company of premium quality personal care products. Today, they are sharing their success with the university through a number of generous gifts, including a pledge of $1.5 million to the Clark School for two endowed professorships in chemical engineering: The Patrick & Marguerite Sung Professorship in Chemical Engineering, and The Patrick & Marguerite Sung Distinguished Professorship in Chemical Engineering.
