Break out the regalia for Professor Xiang Dong Li, the 2012 Scholar on Campus at City Tech. The Scholar honor was bestowed on Standing O pal Xiang Dong because of “his hands-on expertise and scholarship in information security and applications of quantum physics in quantum computing,” said Dean of Curriculum and Instruction Sonja Jackson. She told Standing O, “His ongoing mentorship of students opens opportunities and motivates them to pursue graduate degrees.” Standing O is motivated and not even a student. Comment.

It’s the greatest class ever — when the students in third, fourth and fifth grade at PS 188 heard that there was going to be a robotics course offered, they ran over each other to sign up.

The course also provides a strong foundation for the students to succeed, reenforces how to work together, and prepares them for a techno future that’s only going to get more complex. Comment.
