New Assistant Professor of Teaching Xianglong Wang, PhD

by Gina Pottenger

It is, perhaps, inevitable that Xianglong Wang was to become a new assistant professor of teaching at the UC Davis College of Engineering. He’s been teaching since grade school.

“In elementary school, I was already teaching,” he recalls. “My teacher handed me an hour around noontime so I could actually teach my classmates. Starting from that time, I have felt like teaching is a very rewarding job and it makes a lot of impact.”
