USF LAUNCHES ITS NEWEST RESEARCH CENTER
In Remembrance of Wayne Wang
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that we inform you of the passing away of our colleague and friend Mr. Wayne Wang. We will miss him more than words can express.
Wayne was instrumental in the launch of the University of San Francisco Chinese Business Studies Initiative in 2014, the predecessor to the Center for Business Studies and Innovation in Asia-Pacific (CBSI), and served as the founding chairman of the CBSI Advisory Board. He continued to serve as a board member as the Center’s focus expanded beyond just China, actively helping the Center fulfill its mission of building bridges that connect students, researchers, and Asia-Pacific business communities.
