BEIJING, Jan. 21 -- At a time when a record number of Chinese students are heading abroad for studies and a growing number of overseas-educated natives are returning home to cash in on the economic boom, a group of university alumni have taken a step further: repaying their foreign alma mater.
More than 500 Chinese alumni of Boston University (BU) pledged a $1-million donation to their U.S. alma mater at the launch of their alumni chapter in Beijing on Saturday, the group said. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-01/21/content_7462999.htm
