Jenny Chan

Jenny Chan graduated from the class of 2012 at the University of Illinois. It took her in directions that I never knew existed.

When she entered the University in 2008, she didn’t know what she wanted to do in the future. Despite her confusion as an incoming minority student, Illinois alumni inspired her to do more, to reach and stretch. With one of the largest alumni network in the world, University of Illinois has cultivated hundreds of people who are committed to excellence and service around the world. She is known for her contribution to raising awareness of the "forgotten holocaust" in China. She currently lives in San Francisco CA is the co-founder of the Foundation Honoring Nanjing Massacre Survivors.
