Former Fuller Student President
Tess Chai Plans Return to Malaysia

Tess Chai, who was born and raised in Malaysia, first enrolled at Fuller Seminary in 1989 and graduated two years later with an M.A. in intercultural studies. After leaving Fuller, Chai went to Bangladesh where she served as a missionary for eight years.

“These were the best and hardest days of my life and ministry,” Chai recalls. “But Fuller equipped me well to handle the very tough situations.”

After working in Bangladesh, Chai returned to Fuller Seminary to study for her Ph.D. in intercultural studies. Over the past three years, Chai served in the student government, and in 2002, she was voted into the office of All Student Council President, which she calls the highlight of her Fuller experience.

“Serving on the student government for three years helped me appreciate all the hard work that goes on among the board of trustees and administration,” Chai says. “I am very privileged to have this time at Fuller.”

Following graduation, Chai is returning to Malaysia to serve as the academic dean of a
theological training program where she will teach and train more people for the Kingdom of God.
