Anthony Pang was raised in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn and attended Stuyvesant High School. Although his main focus was mathematics and physics, studying politics and history at Stuyvesant enthralled him, and he became a columnist for the school’s political paper, the Political Fire. There he wrote editorials focusing on politics and public policy. Anthony is enrolled at the Grove School of Engineering, pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering. He has a Summer 2008 internship with CCNY’s Mid-InfraRed Technologies for Health and the Environment (MIRTHE) Center and he writes for the CCNY paper, The Campus. One of Anthony’s aspirations is to gain a leadership position at NASA, and he understands that technical aptitude is insufficient for such a position. Both scientific skill and an understanding of public policy are required to make true advancements for society.
