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.
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.
