The
Lingnan Foundation announces the availability of the W.T. Chan Fellowships.
The W.T. Chan Fellowships Program offers a unique opportunity to gain
international understanding and practical work expSerience through social
service in the U.S.A. By commemorating Professor Wing-tsit Chan, former
Dean of Lingnan UnivSersity and distinguished Professor of Chinese Philosophy
and Religion, the Fellowships extend the Foundationˇs commitments to higher
education, increased international understanding, and personal growth
- commitments also very evident in the life and work of Professor Wing-tsit
Chan. The Fellowships are available to upper-level undergraduates and
postgraduates of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou and Lingnan University
in Hong Kong.
The W. T. Chan Fellowships
Program takes place in the United States in two locations: Los Angeles
and Berkeley, California. In Los Angeles, the program is administered
by the University of
California - Los Angeles Dashew Center for International Students and
Scholars. In Berkeley, the program is managed by the University
of California - Berkeley Cal Corps Public Service Center. The UCLA
Dashew Center and the UC-Berkeley Cal Corps set up the Fellows’ internship
placements at non-profit organizations and organize other program elements,
as described below.
The program begins
with an orientation led by UCLA and UC-Berkeley where the Fellows prepare
for their internships as well as adjust to living in the United States.
Upon completion of the orientation, each Fellow is placed in a non-profit
organization within the host city area that addresses a social concern
related to his/her interests. With support and guidance from university
staff, each Fellow works in that organization for the duration of the
Fellowship, gaining practical experience in service work and inter-cultural
cooperation. Both programs involve a mandatory academic component where
Fellows attend weekly service-oriented seminars that also seek to engage
Fellows in reflection about their experiences. In addition, all Fellows
are immersed in American communities by living in home-stays.
The Fellowships
run from approximately August 2010 to January 2011. Once a Fellowship
is accepted, the Fellow is expected to participate fully in the Program
during the dates set. Travel home during the Fellowship is not permitted.

Lingnan
Foundation
The
Lingnan Foundation, formerly the Trustees of Lingnan University, was first
incorporated in the State of New York in 1893 to support the development
of a college in Guangzhou, China, which later became Lingnan University.
In 1949, the Arts and Sciences faculties of Lingnan were merged with Zhongshan
University, on the former Lingnan campus. From 1954 to 1979, the Trustees
conducted their work primarily in Hong Kong and, later, with the college
that is now Lingnan University, Hong Kong. In 1980, the Trustees resumed
their activities in Guangzhou, principally with Sun Yat-sen (Zhongshan)
University and, since 1988, with Sun Yat-sen University's constituent
Lingnan (University) College.
The
Foundation's ties with institutions and educators in South China, cultivated
over decades, are the basis for its programs. The Foundation seeks to
draw upon its roots as an institution that incorporates both Chinese and
American values and pedagogy and strives to be a catalyst for educational
innovation and reform. The Lingnan Foundation's purpose is to contribute
to the advancement of higher education in the historic Lingnan region
of South China.
