In 2000, she donated $25 million to Wellesley to construct the campus center, which is named in her honor. Wang served on Wellesley’s board of trustees for 18 years and headed the investment committee, the first woman ever to do so. She will be the first Asian-American commencement speaker at Wellesley.

Through the Calderwood Seminars in Public Writing Program at Wellesley, three seniors have been awarded the Stanford Calderwood Prizes in Public Writing. Eloisa Cleveland ’16 received the Calderwood Prize in Humanities, Adele Clifford ’16 received the Calderwood Prize in the Sciences and Tamar Davis ’16 received the Calderwood Prize in the Social Sciences. To win the prize, an essay has to be nominated by Calderwood Seminar instructors and is then chosen by a faculty committee. According to David Lindauer, Stanford Calderwood Professor of Economics, “The winners of the Calderwood Prizes all select interesting topics, address their audiences and make their points accessible. They draw the reader in, explain why their subject is important and do so with writing that is authoritative and engaging.”
