CiviC MINDED
Lily’s biography and Albert’s story of making his way through USC offer up just a couple of examples of why and how they both became deeply committed to civic engagement and giving back to the community.
Below is a record of the Quons’ support of Ginling College, which lives on to this day. Since Ginling no longer exists, it’s now the United Board that manages and allocates the funds in other ways to support Asian scholars.

I’m happy to report that at least some of the Quon descendants are carrying on the family tradition of donating and volunteering - though admittedly Lily and Albert are a hard act to follow!
One favorite organization is AFS Intercultural Exchanges. While not supported by or because of Lily and Albert, the organization’s focus on cross-cultural understanding does remind us that many of their efforts were devoted to building bridges between Chinese and non-Chinese.

I met Albert Quon once when USC nominated me to be a recipient of scholarship he funded. After teaching in Hong Kong I visited his office to express my gratitude via his son. I’m now 77 and am pleased to find this Website!
