FSI's Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center, Asian studies, and Stanford lost a dear friend on June 24 when long-time benefactor Walter Shorenstein died peacefully at his home in San Francisco. Walter endowed the Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center in his name in 2005 and had been a member of the FSI Advisory Board or its predecessor organizations since 1992. At a later date, Shorenstein APARC and FSI will celebrate his life and his tremendous role in bolstering scholarship on contemporary Asia at Stanford.
