UMBC Department of Education Alumni Sean Pang continues to make a positive impact on his students and the local community around him.
"Sean Pang, English and media arts teacher at Rockville High School (RHS), won the 2019 Claes Nobel Educator of the Year Award. He is one of 10 recipients across the U.S.
