Macaulay Honors College
Jonathan Maltz, CSI Macaulay student, Computer Science major
Jonathan Maltz, a CSI sophomore Computer Science major and Macaulay Honors College student was named a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for his in-depth knowledge and ability to provide assistance to online users of Microsoft software. His computer skills began early on, and this is the fifth time that Maltz has received this annual award.
“During the summer between grade school and high school,” Maltz explains, “I found out about this program that [Microsoft] had, where the general public could sign up for test versions of their then-next server operating system (used by businesses to administer their systems). I was interested in gaining experience with the platform. So, I took a look and signed up, and part of the program was a discussion group system. Since I was sort of young, 13, I thought I would read what other people were saying in order to try and learn more about the different components. While I was reading the questions, I saw that I knew the answers to some of them. I started answering them, too, because it was an open discussion. After a while I kept answering them and I started a Website in order to describe more detailed answers in a way that was easier to understand, and I just kept doing it.” Read more about Jonathan's community service >>
