In December 2005, forty-eight New York City College of Technology students participating in the Honors Scholars Program displayed their research projects in the College's 3rd Annual Honors Scholars Poster Session. In addition to poster presentations from the English Composition II Honors and Calculus I Honors courses, special research projects by other students receiving honors credit in regular courses or whose projects otherwise merited presentation also were on display.
The Honors Scholars Program at City Tech provides opportunities for students who have completed at least 16 credits with a GPA of 3.4 or better to participate in special activities such as research opportunities with faculty members, seminars, workshops, enriched coursework for honors credit, field trips and social events. Honors Scholars are members of a collaborative community designed to motivate and challenge talented students and to foster a life-long dedication to learning. The program is coordinated by Mathematics Professor Janet Liou-Mark, assisted by Laura Yuen-Lau.
In addition to Professor Liou-Mark, City Tech President Russell K. Hotzler, Acting Provost Bonne August and Professor Joseph Rosen, director of coordinated undergraduate education, brought greetings at the opening of the 2005 poster session. Also on hand were Professor Esther Goodman, who teaches the English Composition II Honors course, and Professor Satyanand Singh, who teaches the Calculus I Honors course.
