The Pennington School announced a new gift as part of its ongoing capital campaign from Kenneth Kai Tai Yen, a 1984 graduate of the school.

Yen provided the cornerstone donation that launched the “Pennington 175: Engage. Enlighten. Transform.” campaign and has pledged an addition $2 million to the project.

Yen is the chairman of the Yulon Group in Taiwan.

Half of this recent gift is devoted to a fund that will match capital gifts for a new humanities building on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

The new building will bring together the disciplines of history, English, world language, ESL and religion and will be named the Kenneth Kai Tai Yen Humanities Building.

More information is online at pennington.org/capital-campaign.
