    Nick Macias – Electrical Engineering instructor.

    Nick has played a crucial role in my success at Clark College. He always stresses the importance of learning class material, never failing to be encouraging and motivating. He is always more than willing to help, even offering advice and assistance through email over the weekend, and even for classes he isn’t teaching. Nick truly has a passion for his field and for teaching students. He has become a reliable figure and mentor to me and many other students in the Computer Science and Engineering department. If I could take him with me for the rest of my college career, I would.
