The Pony Chung Foundation conferred on Thursday its Pony Chung Innovation Award on Korean-American Harvard law professor Jeannie Suk.
“Suk provided a new milestone in legal education with her innovative ideas and teaching methods,” said foundation chairman Kim Jin-hyun.
Suk became the first Korean-American to be named a professor at Harvard Law in 2006 as well as the first-ever Asian woman to win the position of tenured professor there in 2010.
The Pony Chung Innovation award, named after the nickname of the late Hyundai Development Co. chairman Chung Se-yung, is presented to those who have brought significant changes to society through innovative ideas.
Since 2006, it has been awarded to people such as Ban Ki-moon, now secretary-general of the United Nations, Cambridge University economist Chang Ha-joon, and Kakao Talk chairman Kim Beom-su.
