On July 11, 2015, Guo Yue, Ph. D ’15 graduate received the Dolby Scholarship award presented by Mr. Jeff Moon, Vice President of Dolby Laboratories, Inc., during the 2015 Summer Commencement of School of Public Policy and Management. Mr. Moon spoke highly of Yue’s achievements during his study at SPPM and recognized him as an excellent “Dolby Scholar”.

Guo Yue has been accepted by Harvard University Kennedy School of Government for a post-doc position and will begin his research from this September. During his study at Tsinghua, he was awarded with China National Scholarship by Ministry of Education and Top Scholarship awarded by Tsinghua. Yue recently received the award of “New Star in Academia” which is the highest honor for graduate students at Tsinghua who demonstrate knowledge, skills and persistence in carrying out academic study.

The Scholarship was established in 2014 when SPPM strives to move further in helping outstanding Ph. D graduates to pursue post-doc studies abroad, which has been a preferable requirement for teaching/research positions in higher education institutions and research centers in China. This is an effort to keep and sustain young faculty and researchers for China’s academia in public administration. Dolby Laboratories, as a global leader in entertainment technologies including voice and vision, has always been a forerunner in innovation and in revolutionizing people's and social lifestyles. Based on mutual understanding of the importance of the scholarship, SPPM and Dolby signed a memorandum on July 4, 2014, to support SPPM’s education program by sponsoring a scholarship for an outstanding Ph.D. student to pursue post-doctoral studies at a world-class overseas university or research center, so as to secure a teaching and/or research position in China.
