Overview of Trang Doan Memorial Scholarship
Trang Doan was an international student from Vietnam who was tragically killed in a car accident in 2004. Trang was an active student leader. She worked at the Women’s Center & Cultural Center (now the Gender Equity Center) for nearly two years and served as an officer in the International Student Association, Vietnamese Student Association, and BARCADA, the Filipino student club. Trang’s dream was for the Cultural Center to be a vibrant, active place for students from all over the world to celebrate their differences and commonalities. A fund was created to provide a scholarship to one international student each year who demonstrates the values that Trang held so dear.
