Proud to be American Celebrating Asian American Pacific Islanders –Dr. Samuel C.C. Ting

In 1976, Dr. Samuel C.C. Ting became a Nobel laureate recipient for his contributions to discovering a whole new type of particle (J-particle) in physics that he shared with Dr. Burton Richter. Don’t ask us what that means, but the students who spotlighted Dr. Ting certainly have a better understanding! Did you know he delivered his Nobel prize in Mandarin? What an excellent way to highlight the diversity that is the promise of the US. His contributions are celebrated as the accomplishments of scientists from the US. And our students celebrate Samuel Ting as an American role model who they can aspire to be.

生于同一星球见证了这么多世纪的恨和暴力我们不接受“不”我们今天就要改GB变这一切

我们会喊出：停止仇恨拥抱和平我们会一起度过这场风暴

Proud to be American Celebrating Asian American Pacific Islanders – Kalpana Chawla

Among many childhood dreams, few are as grand as becoming an astronaut. Kalpana Chawla had a love of flying from an early age and channeled her passion into studying aeronautical engineering and became the first woman of Indian descent to fly into space. Being the first to pave a path is easier said than done. For her work opening these doors, a series of satellites, a dorm and engineering building at her alma mater, and a Northrup Grumman spacecraft delivering cargo to the space station are all named after her. Today, her legacy stands as a beacon for many young aspiring people; whether it is in space science or other big dreams. Her life story reminds us not to be afraid of dreaming big. It is exciting to be witness to the small moments when a young person spotlights someone they admire and someone they aspire to be someday.
