About Sir Run Run Shaw
Sir Run Run Shaw was an entertainment mogul and philanthropist who, in the 1960s and 1970s, presided over East Asia’s largest movie studio and produced hundreds of popular movies. In 1985, the Shaw Foundation Hong Kong Limited made a gift of HK$1 million to the Stony Brook University College of Arts and Sciences through the stewardship of CN Yang, Einstein Professor of Physics, and President Marburger. This gift was used to establish the Sir Run Run Shaw Endowment, one of the earliest endowments established by the Stony Brook Foundation. The endowment proceeds support lectures in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Applications are now being accepted for the 2025-26 academic year series. Visit the Sir Run Run Shaw Lecture Series web page.
