Daniel Tsai, chairman of Taiwan-based Fubon Group and ’79 LL.M. graduate of Georgetown University Law Center, has made a record $30 million gift to Georgetown Law. The gift — the largest ever capital gift in the history of the university — will support the construction, pending zoning approval, of a new 200,000 square foot state-of-the art academic building on the Georgetown Law campus and a new architectural landmark for Washington, D.C.’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.
Tsai, who spent a year at Georgetown Law studying international trade and negotiation LL.M., says his time at the Law Center was transformative, sharpening his skills as a business person and expanding his perspective as a global citizen.
“Going to Georgetown Law broadened my views about other cultures, which helped me greatly in my business career,” Tsai said. “The biggest thing I learned was to always stay open-minded and to observe and learn new things. I hope that this gift and the educational endeavors it will make possible will provide similar inspiration to Georgetown Law students for generations to come.”
Georgetown Law Dean William M. Treanor said the gift would not only re-shape the law campus landscape, it would also strengthen the student experience.
“His historic gift will now enable us to provide a world-class education in an even more inspirational setting,” Treanor said. “We are honored that Daniel has chosen to help us grow in our mission.”
