If I could do it all over again, I would go back in time and attend a women’s college for my undergraduate education. Chen Lok Lee, my late father, spent a majority of his teaching career as a tenured full professor at Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, the nation’s oldest and only visual arts college for women. I didn’t understand the value of women-only institutions then, but I do now — another way that my father inspired me. I made the decision to attend Bryn Mawr College’s Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research over 15 years ago. While the graduate school admits more than just women, the school was still part of a rich history of the College, and I wanted to be a part of that legacy. Recently, I was invited to join the Board of Advisors to the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research, another great honor. I am so grateful that the alumnae association was interested enough in the Chen Lok Lee Legacy Project to feature it online and in print in the most recent magazine.
