Surprise Presentation by Dr. Dusan Stipanovic
WOW! Popadija Vesna arranged a surprise visit to our Sunday School by her dear friend Dr. Dusan Stipanovic, whom she met while teaching in San Francisco. He has a B.S. Degree from Belgrade University and continued his M.S.E.E. and PhD education at Santa Clara and spent time at Stanford. He is currently a professor at Southern Illinois University with the Department of Industrial & Enterprise Systems Engineering at Urbana/Champaign, Illinois.
The students were very interested in his current project with robotics, and were glued to his computer with many technical questions. Dusan also told them about his early years in Serbia where Religion was suppressed under the Communist regime, yet he pursued his own spiritual needs, inspired by St. John of Shanghai and others. It was very gracious of Dusan to take the time and travel to share his expertise with our Sunday School children. They certainly enjoyed class today!
