Consecutive GivingAnnie and Clement Chu
Lifetime members of the Chancellor’s Club, the Chus have also created scholarships for UC Irvine medical students in addition to their widespread and longtime campus support. “We took our three children to events at UCI so they could emulate the speakers’ intellectual curiosity, drive and passion for excellence,” she says. Those experiences served them well. Their son, Ray, is a neurosurgeon at Cedars Sinai Medical Center; one daughter specializes in public relations; and their other daughter is an attending pediatrician at Washington University School of Medicine. Clement specializes in gastrointestinal disorders ranging from stomach ulcers to gastric cancer. His prestigious career began with the support of the National Institutes of Health, who recognized his talents and supported his fellowship in gastroenterology. He is the co-author of 20 published medical articles regarding gastrointestinal cancer diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Annie is a volunteer and the former president of Medellas, a women’s philanthropic organization that, among other projects, awards scholarships to UC Irvine students. She was instrumental in establishing a permanently endowed fund with UC Irvine and the Chang Lin Tien Fellowship Fund in the School of Humanities. “Over the years, the campus has provided our family and friends with intellectually stimulating conversations with academic, humanitarian, political and artistic luminaries,” Annie notes. “We cannot imagine life without UCI.” — Bill Ross, University Advancement |

More than two decades ago, while her husband was an associate clinical professor of medicine at UC Irvine, Annie Chu was invited to attend a meeting for spouses of medical faculty. Welcomed by Suzie Peltason, wife of then-chancellor Jack Peltason, Annie and Clement were later invited to the Peltason home and were impressed with their graciousness. The Chus have been staunch supporters of the campus ever since.
