Summer 2022 Spector-Yang Award
The Stanley Spector and Richard Yang Undergraduate Student Award allows students in East Asian Languages and Cultures to conduct study in East Asia or on an East Asian topic.

Through this program students can pursue projects that enrich their academic study of East Asia, including attending an academic conference, studying abroad, participating in an internship, or doing community outreach with an East Asian focus.
