UCI triple major’s commencement speech on Father’s Day weekend will honor her dad

EVENT:  Graduating triple major Amy Hu will speak at the School of Social Sciences commencement this Father’s Day weekend – and thank her father for helping her and her two sisters find UCI. The middle child, Hu will receive bachelor’s degrees in sociology, business economics and business administration. Her older sister, Wendy Hu ’15, was a double major in pharmaceutical sciences and business administration, while younger sister Mary Hu – who hopes to earn degrees in informatics and business administration – is just finishing her freshman year at UCI.

WHEN/WHERE: 3 p.m. Friday, June 15, at the Bren Events Center (bldg. 901, grid D6 on campus map: https://communications.uci.edu/documents/pdf/UCI_16_map_campus_core.pdf)

INFORMATION:  Media planning to attend should contact Pat Harriman at 949-824-9055. Free parking is available in the Mesa Parking Structure (grid C7 on campus map).

BACKGROUND:  Amy Hu says it was no coincidence that her father moved the family to a home within walking distance of UCI before her first year of junior high. Unable to finish his graduate program due to financial hardship after coming to the U.S. from Taiwan, her dad wanted to ensure that UCI was foremost in his three daughters’ college plans. Hu’s commencement speech thanking him will be a very special Father’s Day gift.
