2017年11月16日,多倫多大學University College最具影響力校友(Alumni of Influence)的頒獎典禮在多倫多The Carlu舉行。
驚喜的是,獲獎的16位多大校友中,竟然有臺灣著名藝人、演員林志玲。
林志玲畢業於多倫多大學,主修西方美術史、經濟學雙學位。
不過當晚,林志玲因為工作繁忙沒能到場領獎。她的多大同學Jonathon Chen代其領獎,並表示林志玲非常榮幸獲此榮譽。
據Jonathon Chen介紹,多倫多大學University College最具影響力校友的頒獎每年舉行一次,今年獲獎者中多為科學家、教授和知名學者,林志玲是唯一的一位藝人,也是唯一的一位華人校友。
在UC的官方主頁上,寫著一段獲獎者林志玲的個人介紹:
Chiling Lin is a famous Taiwanese model and actress. She spent her high school years in Toronto, then studied economics and art history at UC. After graduation, she returned to Taiwan and began her modeling career. In 2004, she starred in a series of advertisements, skyrocketing to national fame. Her celebrity initiated a Taiwanese craze for supermodels that commentators dubbed "the Chiling Lin phenomenon." One of the most famous faces in Asia, she has been an official spokesperson for both China Airlines and Longines, and has starred in films and TV series in Hong Kong, China, and Japan. Fluent in Cantonese, Japanese, and English, she has served as Taiwan’s goodwill ambassador to Japan. The recipient of numerous awards for modeling and acting, in 2011 she established the Chiling Charity Foundation in support of child welfare.
希望志玲姐姐在中國的發展,越來越好呢~!
