SPH Student Killed in Car Accident Dec. 24

June Hao Hou, the club's other vice president, said Wang often helped students who were new to Cambridge find housing and get settled into life on campus. He said she also helped the club improve attendance at its events.

"She never was the star person, but she was always the best support," he said.

Hou said the club conducted a fundraiser to help pay for several of Wang's close friends to go to Alabama in the days just after her death to attend the funeral.

Hou said the group also raised the necessary funds to pay for the costs of holding a memorial service in Cambridge the week of the accident, which more than 200 people attended.

About 50 people have contributed more than $4,000 to the fund.

Wang's parents, who traveled to Alabama from Taiwan for the Dec. 28 funeral in Mobile, held a Buddhist service, and then came to Cambridge for the memorial.

Another memorial service will be held Jan. 12 at 5:30 p.m. in the atrium of the SPH's Franois-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights Building, located in Boston.
