H. Min Chiang Award

The H. Min Chiang Award is presented to a graduating student in Psychology at the University of Prince Edward Island who reflects the personal and intellectual qualities, values and interests embodied by Dr. Hung-Min Chiang during his career at UPEI. Dr. Chiang came to Prince Edward Island from Taiwan with his family in 1967 and was a student of Abraham Maslow. He taught psychology at Prince of Wales College and the University of Prince Edward Island until his retirement in 1991. Several years after retirement, Dr. Chiang authored a book about the experiences of Chinese settlers on Prince Edward Island called Chinese Islanders: Making a Home in the New World. He is remembered as a lover of nature and a favorite professor by many students. This award was created to honour Dr. Chiang's work, and Dr. Chiang has since made contributions to the award fund to allow it to continue supporting deserving psychology students.
