After a national search, we’re excited to welcome Derick Han to his new role as Dean. And if he looks familiar, there’s a good reason — Han has been part of the KGI community since 2013! Now, he’s stepping into this new role and helping lead the School of Pharmacy into its next chapter. We can’t wait to see what’s ahead!

For Angela Chong, returning to school after decades away was a goal that seemed out of reach. While balancing family responsibilities and a full-time job with the San Francisco Department of Public Health, Chong didn't think earning a master’s degree was possible until she discovered KGI's fully online Master of Health Administration (MHA) program.

“I feel that KGI gave me a second chance to pursue a dream that I had put on hold for many years,” said Chong, who graduated from KGI in May. “As someone over 50 years old, I never thought I would have the opportunity to return to school and earn a master's degree. With a family to support and a daughter attending college, I always prioritized my family's needs before my own educational goals.”

In our Scholarship Spotlight series, Chong reflects on how the generosity of Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, founder and executive chairperson of Biocon Limited, who received an honorary degree from KGI at the 2026 commencement ceremony, helped make her educational goal attainable.
