Since September, I have been back at Harvard as a Senior Fellow at the Center for Business and Government of the Kennedy School of Government. This winter we have already had two major snowstorms -- we have become quite unaccustomed to snow and cold weather after more than 20 years living in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Still, the Charles River is very beautiful in winter, and there is certainly a feeling of Christmas in the air as the holiday draws near.

In addition to my work at the Center, there have been many fascinating activities here. In particular, our past Club president Dr. Eric Wu came and gave a very interesting talk on constitutional reform at the Law School. While in Cambridge, I have met with the Harvard ROC Student Club, some of whose members were recipients of our Club’s annual scholarships. We will make sure that each and every one of them sign up to join our Club when they get their degrees and return to Taiwan.

I would like to thank the Harvard Club director and supervisors – especially Vice President Jih-chu Lee and Vice President Stephen Tsuei – for taking care of the club affairs in my absence. If any Taiwan alumni get an opportunity to visit Boston in the coming months, please come see us. I can be reached at jeffrey_williams@ksg.harvard.edu.

In closing, my family and I wish all of you and your loved ones a happy holiday and a happy, healthy and successful 2004.

2003 annual scholarship awards committee convened by Prof. Man-hung Lin for the purpose of reviewing applications and conducting interviews. Out of a total pool of 12 applicants, four are selected to receive the award.

In addition, the committee selected Shun-Chiao Chang as this year’s recipient of the prestigious Wang Yuan-chun Memorial Scholarship Award.
