Tonight will be a big one for Jackie Chan.

The veteran actor will be conferred with yet another prestigious title — an honorary professorship from Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s School of Hotel and Tourism Management.

This will be his second degree, after receiving a lifetime honorary social science doctorate from Hong Kong Baptist University in 1996.

His new honor (which only lasts three years) doesn’t come for nothing, however. Chan will have to spend some time in the classroom doing guest lectures.

He already has some experience, though. In October he appeared before a classroom of students from PolyU’s communications and public affairs department and answered questions. He also spoke heatedly about how Hong Kong people must be more patriotic to their city.
