SMU alumnus Dr Charles Chen Yidan, co-founder of Internet giant Tencent and founder of The Yidan Prize values continuing education and the importance of staying open-minded in an increasingly globalised and diverse world. Earlier this year, he earned a Doctor of Business Administration from SMU’s Lee Kong Chian School of Business. “Our educational journey does not end when we leave school. It is a lifelong journey,” said Dr Chen. This belief in the power of education is why he is giving his money, energy and time to address the need for an education system geared towards the future.
