Role in the Community

  • 台大1971數學系學歷與台大校友名錄「賴聰域（數學）」相符；名錄同列「賴淑遠（商學）」，與妻 賴淑遠 相互印證 — 2018-07-20 南加州台大校友會邀管中閔專題演講引發校友連署抗議。
  • TAH encyclopedia entry: 05.
  • Spouse-side community record (facts about wife 賴淑遠, not himself): she co-founded 聖東生活座談會 in 1992-10 per [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys212|Our Journeys #212]], and co-initiated the 2021 南加州僑界支持台灣參與WHa聯合聲明 (2021 WHA 聯合聲明) alongside TAHS — the couple’s LA Taiwan-community organizing footprint. His own corpus footprint stays limited to the entry above plus wife’s entries 159 / 389; no new first-person memoir material found on re-grep 2026-09-20.
  • First-person material recovered 2026-10-07 from 賴淑遠’s memoir as told to 公孫樂 — 04: the couple married in 1975; 賴聰域 came to the US first in 1976 (wife pregnant at the time), studying economics at the University of Rochester before transferring to Yale for the investment/finance doctorate — consistent with the Education table above. While a Yale student he borrowed US$5,000 from the university, repaid it, and later established a stock brokerage account whose profits were earmarked to give back to Yale — his own stated gratitude to 母校.
  • NATWA annual-conference speaker (community fact, new). Per the 北美洲台灣婦女會聯誼通訊 第十期 (record dated 1994/01), he was listed among the speakers of the 第六屆 NATWA 年會 in Kansas City (April 21–24, theme 「理財」) as 「加州的賴聰域敎授」 — an invitation-level community role alongside 顧燕翎, 李明瑱 et al.: 01.
