Chinese & Peter Rushton
In 2014, I had the honor to be chosen for the Peter Rushton Award by the University of California Santa Cruz Language Department, This award supported my linguistic research and pursuit of fluency in Mandarin Chinese.
“This scholarship was established in memory of the life and work of Dr. Peter Rushton. Dr. Rushton received his Ph.D. in Chinese Language and Literature from Stanford University prior to becoming a lecturer in Chinese language at UC Santa Cruz in 1984. He was an active scholar, dedicated teacher, and champion of students interested in Chinese language and culture.”
