Lee Teng-hui, former president of Taiwan, will travel to Cornell, where he earned his Ph.D. in agricultural economics in 1968, for a personal visit June 26-28.
On campus, Lee will see his granddaughter, a Cornell undergraduate student who is taking summer courses. The university will announce the establishment of the Lee Teng-hui Institute for Scientific Research in his honor. He has previously been honored by the university with the endowment of the Lee Teng-hui Professorship of World Affairs, made possible by a $2.5 million endowment gift to Cornell in 1994, presented anonymously by friends of Lee in Taiwan.
