Kimmy Dương Gives $36 Million to Mason
George Mason University received $36 million from the Kimmy Dương Foundation to name the Long Nguyễn and Kimmy Dương School of Computing within the College of Engineering and Computing. Mason:
Duong was born in Nha Trang, Vietnam, in 1945 and earned a bachelor of science in economics and law from the University of Saigon in 1966. She joined IBM in 1968, where she worked until she left the country in 1975, when she fled Vietnam and arrive in the United States with only $30.
For $36 millions, the least they can do is putting some diacritical marks on their names.
