Emily Tan (Questrom’28), a nationally ranked table tennis player, picked up a paddle at age 6 and started training with a professional coach at age 7. As a USA National team member on the women’s U15 and U19 teams, she was the youngest woman in Major League Table Tennis for the Chicago Wind, the first professional table tennis league in the US.
