Newton Lee

Virginia Tech alumnus Newton Lee is a firm believer in the importance of education, research, and scholarships.

From his personal experiences, he is deeply committed and passionate about making sure others have access to these opportunities. In 2004, he created a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, aptly named Institute for Education, Research, and Scholarships (IFERS).

The award-winning California-based public charity organization is dedicated to improving society by conducting scientific and social research. Its ultimate goal is to create a better world with lasting peace, prosperity, and universal rights for all.

If this sounds a little like Star Trek, you would not be totally off base.

Lee likens his own personal “leap of faith” of leaving his homeland of Hong Kong to study in the United States to the mantra of Star Trek, which encourages people “to explore strange new worlds and to seek out new life and new civilizations.
