Lau and Chan first met as international students at York, where they forged lifelong friendships and a shared passion for learning across cultures. Because this formative experience shaped their own paths, they are passionate about giving more students the chance to embark on the same journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe know first\u2011hand how global learning opportunities can build resilience and creativity,\u201d says Chan, CEO and executive director of Singapore\u2011based SP&nbsp;Chemicals&nbsp;Pte.&nbsp;Ltd. \u201cWhen students go beyond their familiar surroundings, they learn to adapt and rise to bigger challenges. These qualities are essential to navigate our increasingly complex world, and there is no better way to gain them other than global immersion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lau adds, \u201cIn the last three years, some exceptional students have gone on their own learning adventures through our program. It was delightful to watch their transformation, and I am very excited to see how many more bright minds will benefit from our program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2022, the Paulina Lau Scholars Program has enabled 24 students to explore experiential learning opportunities in 20 institutions across 14 countries. From internships at NASA, to language training for diplomatic careers, to research on democratic systems, these scholars have gained a wealth of learning \u2013 none of which would have been possible without the couple\u2019s generous support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPaulina and Hian\u2019s generosity exemplifies how alumni partnerships can spark profound learning journeys,\u201d says <strong>Susana Gajic-Bruyea<\/strong>, vice-president, advancement at York. \u201cTheir gift is a testament to the transformative power of philanthropy and the enduring connection our alumni share with York.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this landmark gift, Lau and Chan reaffirm their belief that global learning is not a luxury, but a unique component of a York education and a cornerstone for positive change in an interconnected world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/yorkinternational.yorku.ca\/outgoing-global-learning-funds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer
