EWC alumni in Phnom Penh held a dinner meeting on July 28 with President Morrison who provided an update on EWC and EWCA activities and encouraged Cambodian alumni to attend the Bali Conference in mid November. Chhany Sak-Humphry and Nicole Knudsen (both standing far left) helped to organize the gathering.
Former Research Program Administrative Officer Meg McGowan organized a reunion for 1968 alumni at the East-West Center on July 18. The eight alumni enjoyed the day receiving updates from President Morrison and Dean of Students Mary Hammond followed by a tour of the campus and dinner in the old cafeteria area.
About one hundred and sixty new East-West Center students will be arriving at the EWC in the first week of August. We would like to ask the Hawaii alumni to help these students by donating their used kitchen items.
Each year, the EWC Association Hawaii Chapter Board members assist the EWC Participant Association by collecting and selling the donated items for a nominal price (about $.50 a piece) to raise a little money for the Association and help new students save some money for necessary kitchen items.
PLEASE DROP OFF YOUR DONATED ITEMS AT:
ALUMNI OFFICE
EAST-WEST CENTER
1601 EAST-WEST ROAD
BURNS HALL, ROOM 1062
THE DROP OFF PERIOD IS FROM JULY 28 - AUGUST 1ST ONLY
After serving five years on the East-West Center Board of Governors, Puongpun Sananikone has been elected the new chairman of the Board. He is the first East-West Center alumnus to hold this position.
Puongpun (ISI ‘64-68) met his wife Thanh-Lo (ISI ‘64-68) while they were both students at the East-West Center. Since leaving the Center, both have been very active alumni who contribute considerably to the Center.
We would like to extend our congratulations to Puongpun and look forward to his time as chairman.
