THE ORIGIN OF “WHOLEREN” EDUCATION

With a focus on all aspects of holistic education, our company name reflects our belief:  “ren”, meaning “person” in Chinese and our belief that our work encompasses the whole person, or WholeRen.

THE FOUNDERS OF WHOLEREN EDUCATION

WholeRen Education LLC was co-founded by Dr. Brian J. White and Mr. Andrew Chen.

Dr. White has had a long standing career in education for over 40 years, having served in numerous roles: as a High School History teacher, Executive Director of Student Services in the Pittsburgh School District, and Regional Superintendent for the Pittsburgh public school system.  Partnered with Dr. White in WholeRen’s development is Mrs. Kathleen White, who has served as a senior administrator in the North Campus of Allegheny County Community College.  Mrs. White possesses over 30 years of experience in the large community college system, which enrolled upwards of 65,000 students.

As an international student from Beijing, Mr. Andrew Chen came to the U.S. for graduate education in 1995 and has resided in Pittsburgh, PA for 19 years.  A graduate from the prestigious Tsinghua University High School, he studied Nuclear Engineering at the Harbin Shipbuilding Engineering Institute and then emigrated to the U.S., studying at the University of Missouri, Columbia earning two masters degrees.  Possessing first-hand cross cultural educational experiences in both China and the United States, this informs Mr. Chen’s role as international educator bridging Chinese and U.S. education.  Drawing from his experiences with students and parents at WholeRen, Mr. Chen has consulted with thousands of Chinese international students in both the U.S. and China to understand their changing needs and aspirations for study in the U.S.  He has served as a Board member of one of the largest Asian cultural advocacy group for eight years.
