On a cool morning in 1979, a young man pedaled his bicycle down San Carlos Street toward San Jos\u00e9 City College, the first place in America that had ever opened its doors to him. He had arrived with no English, no money, no family\u2014just the hope that had carried him through storms, hunger, and pirate-patrolled waters as a Vietnamese refugee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he sped over the tall overpass that day, the rear brake gave out. The front brake locked, the bike pitched forward, and he was thrown onto the pavement. When he came to, a stranger was leaning over him, a hand on his shoulder, gently trying to wake him. \u201cWe need to get you to the hospital,\u201d the man said\u2014urgent, but calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He waited in the emergency room until he was certain the student would be treated. Only then did the student explain he had been rushing to class. The good Samaritan said his name was Dan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The injured student, Hung Pham, never forgot that moment. He never saw the stranger again. But from that day on, he introduced himself simply as Dan, in honor of the man who helped him when he had few people to count on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than four decades later, that same student \u2014 now Dan Pham, a retired mechanical engineer, husband, father of twin daughters, and longtime Silicon Valley professional \u2014 is giving back to the college that took him in when he had little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pham and his wife, Mary, have established a $25,000 endowment at San Jos\u00e9 City College. The investment will live in perpetuity, and its annual interest will fund scholarships for engineering students, with the goal of supporting first-generation, low-income, and immigrant learners like the young man Dan once was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the story of how he arrived at this moment stretches far beyond San Jos\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Childhood Dream Deferred by War<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pham grew up in a middle-class family in northern Vietnam. Like many children of his generation, he dreamed of going to college, a dream that seemed close yet impossible. Higher education was a rarity in his post-war country; economic instability made it even more remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI realized my best chance would be to venture to another country,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He left Vietnam on a small wooden boat, joined by many others fleeing the same uncertain future. What followed was brutal: storms that threatened to swamp the vessel, disease that tore through cramped quarters, days without food, and close encounters with pirates. Many boats, like it, did not reach their destinations. The United Nations estimated that nearly half of all Vietnamese boat people perished at sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pham\u2019s journey lasted two weeks, though it felt \u201clike two years,\u201d he said. When he finally stepped onto American soil in 1979, he was alive \u2014 but alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding a First Home in a New Country<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He did not know how to enroll in school. He had no guidance, no English, and no money. But someone pointed him toward City College, and he walked onto the campus, hoping someone would help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dan<\/figure>
\n

\u201cSJCC welcomed me with open arms when I had nothing,\u201d he said. \u201cTheir acceptance made me feel like I belonged.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pham worked tirelessly to catch up \u2014 learning English, studying general education courses, and biking miles to and from school every day. His near-fatal bicycle accident happened during one of those rides, but even that memory has become a symbol of grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe kindness of the man who helped me \u2014 I admire him deeply,\u201d he said. \u201cI took his name as a reminder of the goodness in people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completing two years at SJCC, he transferred to Sacramento State University, worked for several years, and then pushed himself further academically. \u201cNo one in my family had ever reached higher education,\u201d he said. \u201cI wanted to go all the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He earned a B.S. at Sacramento State and an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering at UC San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Unexpected Spark \u2014 and a Family Begins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During one summer in a UCSD engineering lab, a faulty pressure gauge on a gas tank malfunctioned, creating an explosion that echoed through the workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It caught the attention of a nearby doctoral student, a chemical engineer named Mary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mishap was the beginning of their relationship \u2014 \u201can explosion love story,\u201d Pham jokes. The couple later married and built a life rooted in mutual support, a love of science, and the belief that education is a force multiplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Their daughters, Roanna and Emma, are now third-year students at UC Davis, both drawn to engineering like their parents.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Engineering a Future for Others<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pham\u2019s engineering career wound through Silicon Valley during a period of rapid technological change. He designed disk drives at Quantum Corporation, then moved into procurement, product engineering, and eventually program management roles at Hewlett-Packard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the industry\u2019s pace, he never forgot the slower, more vulnerable times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy journey \u2014 from a refugee boat to a successful career and family life \u2014 has been defined by extreme hardship and extraordinary kindness,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He believes deeply that a single act \u2014 a scholarship, a stranger\u2019s help, a school\u2019s welcome \u2014 can change the trajectory of a life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne little push can give someone momentum,\u201d he said. \u201cI was given that push.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That belief shaped a family decision: the creation of three endowments, one at UC San Diego, another at Sacramento State, and the newest at San Jos\u00e9 City College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SJCC fund will support at least one engineering student every year and is designed to grow as friends and family contribute. Endowments, unlike one-time scholarships, are structured to last forever: the principal is never spent; only the investment earnings are. It is a long-term commitment \u2014 one that signals permanence, stability, and faith in the college\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Give Back Now?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pham speaks of his gift in humble terms, but the context tells a larger story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He came to the United States at a time when many of today\u2019s students\u2019 parents had not yet been born. The refugee crisis that delivered him to California is now taught in textbooks. San Jose’s Vietnamese community has grown to be the largest outside of Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But some things haven\u2019t changed at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The college still enrolls first-generation immigrants. It still welcomes students who speak little or no English. It still educates learners seeking a foothold in a bewildering new country. Many still arrive with no safety net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pham remembers all of that \u2014 because he lived it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen SJCC welcomed me, I had nothing,\u201d he said. \u201cThat is why this place will always be in my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For him, establishing an endowment is not charity, but reciprocity. It is a way of extending the same hand that lifted him up decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Legacy of Momentum<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

His endowment signals a particular faith \u2014 not only in San Jos\u00e9 City College, but in students who will one day sit where he once sat: uncertain, hopeful, and quietly determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want them to be able to build their own dreams,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd to pay their own experiences of kindness forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the college prepares to award the first scholarship from the Bui Pham Family Endowment, one thing is certain: somewhere on campus, a future engineer will soon discover that their journey is no longer theirs alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
