Richard Tam was a longtime real estate developer in Las Vegas and an active supporter of the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ. Tam made numerous financial donations in support of student scholarships and 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ alumni through his generous gift of $1 million to build the Richard Tam Alumni Center.
The Richard Tam Alumni Center was opened in 1990 and has become one of the most visited and iconic buildings on the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ campus. Tam established the Richard Tam Trust Fund to provide funding for upgrades, enhancements, and beautification projects for the alumni center. Some of the projects which the Richard Tam Trust Fund has supported include new sandstone benches in the front of the building and the courtyard area, a new video screen for the lobby area, and the sound system for the Grand Hall.
51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ is appreciative for all of the financial support that Richard Tam has generously given over the years.
