Four Seniors Named Commended Students in 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

Principal Dr. Darius Penikas<\/strong> and Archbishop Molloy High School have announced that Joseph Bruno \u201922<\/strong>, Jonatan Hernandez \u201922<\/strong>, Madison Pe\u00f1a \u201922<\/strong>, and Meghan Spanopoulos \u201922<\/strong> have been named Commended Students in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation<\/em> from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, has been presented to these scholastically talented seniors.<\/p>\n

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2022 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 students who entered the 2022 competition by taking the 2020 Preliminary SAT\/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT\/NMSQT).<\/p>\n

\u201cThose being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,\u201d commented a spokesperson for NMSC. \u201cThese students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students Virtually Visit the Amazon Fulfillment Center<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered how Amazon sends out packages so quickly? In September, Molloy Computer Science & Engineering students virtually visited the Amazon Fulfillment Center (FC) and learned about the technology behind it. This live virtual event helped students see the real-life implementation of computer science in a new, exciting way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>One of the most important parts of the FC tour was understanding how automation works and how to use algorithmic thinking to develop and test automated solutions. Students witnessed the process of putting cloud computing, quality control, and machine learning in effect. \u201cThe entire tour showed the importance of computer science and how it will continue to evolve and integrate into our everyday lives,\u201d said Nancy Xie \u201823<\/strong>. \u201cLast year, we played a coding game in computer science class where we learned how to program an Amazon fulfillment center robot, Hercules, to deliver our friend’s birthday present on time. So, I enjoyed watching the actual process come to life during the visit,” Xie said.<\/p>\n

AP CSA student Joseph McGowan \u201823<\/strong> said: \u201cWhen we think about ordering packages on Amazon, our biggest worry is most likely how fast will they arrive. During the Amazon Fulfillment Center Virtual Tour, we were able to get an inside look at the process it takes to get that item in our Amazon shopping cart from one of Amazon\u2019s fulfillment centers to our doorstep. Additionally, the tour highlighted the importance of robots and computer science in Amazon\u2019s various fulfillment centers (pictured right<\/em>). It was very interesting to see the robots bring the desired item to the proper station in which that item will be packed and processed. Once done, the items then go through Amazon\u2019s SLAM machine (Scan, Label, Apply, Manifest) and are then given the proper shipping label. Learning about this process helped me understand that without computer science, fulfillment centers would not be able to operate. I enjoyed the tour immensely,” McGowan said.<\/p>\n

Besides the FC tour, students had a chance to participate in an inspiring chat with Amazon\u2019s technical program manager, Jimmy Ng, who gave them valuable advice. When asked about the qualities he possesses that allow him to be happy and successful at his job, Mr. Ng emphasized teamwork, empathy, and good writing skills. \u201cI found Mr. Ng\u2019s virtual chat extremely helpful as it gave me an inside look at the type of environment and work required to be a successful employee at Amazon,\u201d McGowan said.<\/p>\n

On October 5th, Molloy’s College Guidance Department hosted a virtual Financial Aid Night for current students and parents. The event featured guest presenter Ms. Jacqueline Perez<\/strong>, Director of Financial Services at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY. Topics ranged from defining types of aid, to what forms need to be completed, as well as best practices for the process. Over 100 students and parents attended the live event via Zoom, and a recording of the event was later shared with all current students and parents. Thank you to Ms. Perez for her time and insights.<\/p>\n
