出自世界各地的校友，朋友和其他人以各种方式帮助的意愿，波士顿大学（BU）设立纪念奖学金，以此纪念在4月15日在波士顿马拉松炸弹袭击遇难的BU研究生，吕令子。另外两人也一同遇难。

“以此纪念，值得去做”波士顿大学的董事肯尼思·费尔德评价如是说。在本周三的募款委员会议上，他提出了设立此项纪念奖学金，令子的父母也有这样的愿望。休会前，其七名成员已承诺捐款560000美元。令子家人本周将从沈阳前往波士顿。

费尔德说：在得知令子遇难和同校另外一位研究生重伤的消息后，校友，令子家乡的人们和世界各地的人们通过Facebook，Twitter及美国驻中国领事馆询问，如何纪念令子和这次不幸事件。从令子遇难为止，超过6000帖子表示慰问和支持。

“但有没有一个地方可以捐赠，我们问自己，'我们能做什么来纪念她？”费尔德说。费尔德是菲尔德娱乐公司的董事长兼首席执行官。“以她的名字命名的奖学金基金将永远在那里，人们可以任何时候为此捐款。”在费尔德的提议10分钟内，该委员会已捐出最初的560000美元。

费尔德说，此奖学金纪念发生这件发生在波大的不幸事件，正如2001年911一样，将永远铭记。“波士顿大学如大家庭彼此相关”他说。通过纪念吕令子奖学金，波士顿大学也紧连接中国人民，目前在读有2,065中国学生。他还提到，波士顿大学和中国还有一个更强的联系，美国驻中国大使，加里楼洛克也是校友，1975年毕业于法学院。

费尔德说，吕令子纪念奖学金基金欢迎所有捐款。“每个生命人都有其实质意义。”

BU Scholarship to Honor LU Lingzi

http://www.bu.edu/today/2013/bu-scholarship-will-honor-lu-lingzi/

As thousands of offers to help in some way pour in from alumni, friends, and others around the world, a fund has been established to endow a memorial scholarship at the University in the name of LU Lingzi, the BU graduate student who was one of three people killed in the Boston Marathon bomb attacks on April 15.

“It’s a fitting tribute and the right thing to do,” says Kenneth Feld (SMG’70), a BU trustee who proposed the memorial scholarship Wednesday at a meeting of the executive committee of the Campaign for BU, which he chairs. Before the meeting adjourned, its seven members had committed $560,000 to the fund, created in accordance with the preferences of the LU family, who will be traveling to Boston this week from their home in Shenyang, China.

After learning of the death of LU (GRS’14) and of the severe injuries to another BU graduate student, alumni, residents of LU’s hometown in China, and others around the world have asked through Facebook, Twitter, and several U.S. consulates in China what they could do to honor the students and memorialize the tragic events of the day, Feld says. Since LU’s death was reported, there have been more than 6,000 posts, “likes,” and shares expressing condolences and support on BU Alumni Association social media outlets.

“But there was no central place to donate, and we asked ourselves, ‘What could we do to honor her memory, today and tomorrow?’” says Feld, who is chairman and CEO of Feld Entertainment. The answer was clear, he says. “A scholarship fund in her name will be there forever; people can contribute to something that is ongoing.” Within 10 minutes of Feld’s proposal, the committee had raised the initial funds.

Feld says the scholarship fund also honors the memory of a tragedy that has hit home for the BU community and will become, like September 11, 2001, a day that will never be forgotten. “There isn’t an individual at BU who didn’t have some connection to people who were there,” he says. And by honoring LU, the scholarship also recognizes BU’s profound connection to the people of China, which is sending a growing number of students—this year there are 2,065—to the University. BU has another strong connection, Feld says—among many other ties, the U.S. ambassador to China, Gary F. Locke (LAW’75), is an alumnus.

The scholarship fund will welcome all contributions, says Feld. “Every one has real meaning.”
