Founded in 1908 in Fuzhou, China, by American missionary Lydia A. Trimble, Hwa Nan Women's College aimed to empower women through education. In 1984, Dr. Yu Bao Sheng, at age 80, led a group of retired career women to reestablish the New Fujian Hwa Nan Women’s College – the first private women’s college in People's Republic of China. The college now spans two campuses, covering 250 acres, and offers 28 majors across six departments, including culture and education, healthcare and nursing, art and design, tourism services, and finance and business.

 

Hwa Nan Alumnae Inc. was also founded in 1984 in the U.S. by dedicated alumnae to support the college's mission. This website provides an opportunity to learn about Hwa Nan’s history and contribute to its legacy.
