英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋少年曾在肯塔基州克莱县求学 2019年捐200万美元建宿舍教学楼

肯塔基州克莱县 — 英伟达公司首席执行官黄仁勋少年时代曾在肯塔基州克莱县的奥奈达浸信会学院求学,这段经历随着近日全美媒体对黄仁勋的关注而重新进入公众视野,《肯塔基灯笼报》11月9日刊文讲述了这段渊源。
黄仁勋与哥哥在台湾和泰国长大,20世纪70年代初当地局势动荡,父母将他们送往华盛顿州的一位叔叔处。1972年,英语不熟练的叔叔误以为奥奈达是一所名牌寄宿学校,将当时9岁的黄仁勋和10岁的哥哥送到这所位于克莱县的学校。
黄仁勋在校期间曾负责打扫厕所,还曾以教17岁的室友读书换取对方教他卧推。2019年,他向母校捐款200万美元,用于建设新的女生宿舍和教学楼,并回到学校参加以他名字命名的教学楼落成仪式。如今奥奈达约有350名学生,其中约65名是来自世界各地的国际学生。
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Attended School in Kentucky's Clay County as a Boy; Donated $2 Million in 2019
CLAY COUNTY, Kentucky — Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang attended the Oneida Baptist Institute in Clay County, Kentucky, as a boy — a chapter of his life that returned to public attention as the Kentucky Lantern retold the story on November 9 amid nationwide media focus on Huang.
Huang and his brother grew up in Taiwan and Thailand. Amid unrest in the early 1970s, their parents sent them to an uncle in Washington State. In 1972, the uncle, who spoke limited English, mistakenly believed Oneida was a prestigious boarding school and sent Huang, then 9, and his brother, then 10, to the school in Clay County.
At Oneida, Huang scrubbed toilets and taught his 17-year-old roommate to read in exchange for learning how to bench-press. In 2019, he donated $2 million to his alma mater to build a new girls' dormitory and classroom building, returning for the dedication of the hall named after him. Oneida today has about 350 students, including about 65 international students from around the world.
