Pyon-Chen Hall
Pyon-Chen Hall is named in honor of two fearless trailblazers, Pyon Su, and Chunjen Constant Chen. In 1891, Pyon Su became the first Korean student to receive a degree from any American college or university. Chunjen Constant Chen was the first Chinese student to enroll at the Maryland Agricultural College in 1915. They will forever be symbols of opportunity and progress and whose resolve and determination to succeed against all odds serve as an inspiration to all Terps. Pyon-Chen Hall is the first of two residence halls located in the Heritage Community.
