The foundation’s gift will establish the Yao Yuan Sze Center for Health & Wellness at the College and support two important spaces within the SLC: the movement lab and the nutrition science health lab. The gift will also create an endowed chair in Kinesiology, provide program support to fund research opportunity for students and purchase state of the art equipment for the Exercise Physiology, Biomechanics, Musculoskeletal Anatomy, and Nutrition labs.
Before his death in 2013, Yao Yuan Sze—a successful businessman, aerospace engineer, and philanthropist—came to appreciate this College and its positive impact on students. He wished to support Whittier’s work in providing transformative education in the areas of health and science.
