The University of Pennsylvania’s history with China dates to 1898, when Dr. Chaun Moon Hun graduated from the School of Dental Medicine. Two years later the University awarded Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese ambassador to the U.S., the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws (L.L.D.). The first Penn Club in China was organized in 1914 in Shanghai. Over the years, Penn has graduated thousands of distinguished alumni who have made tremendous contributions to society in China, the United States, and around the world.
