The East-West Center is proud to announce the appointment of Jean H. Lee as our inaugural Presidential Chair, a position funded by a generous private donation to the Charles Morrison Endowed Fund. This pivotal gift allows us to attract exceptional leaders, like Jean H. Lee, an award-winning journalist and North Korea expert. Her appointment strengthens the Center’s mission to foster understanding in the Indo-Pacific region. We extend our deepest gratitude to the donor for their vision and support, which makes such transformative appointments possible.
