In this episode of The CommUnity Corner Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Wilbur Pan — an oncologist, researcher, East Brunswick Board of Education member, musician, and woodworker. Dr. Pan shares how his professional work as Oncology Clinical Director at Merck intersects with his passion for education and community service here in East Brunswick.

We talk about his vision for the future of our schools, including challenges with facilities, the importance of arts education, and what he’s learned since joining the Board of Education. Beyond his service, Dr. Pan opens up about his life as a musician who supports the high school theater department, and as a nationally recognized woodworking hobbyist who presents at events like Woodworking in America.

This conversation highlights the many dimensions of a neighbor who gives back in countless ways — from the lab, to the classroom, to the stage, and even the workshop. Tune in to hear Dr. Pan’s story, his vision for our township, and why he continues to invest so deeply in the East Brunswick community.
