Thad Nolan- Automotive Technician Instructor 

The days of the corner garage and the grease monkey have long since gone. The automobile of today has evolved into a rolling technological wonder with many advanced safety features and electronics. To understand, diagnose, and repair the modern vehicle is a never ending challenge. That is what fascinates me the most about working in the auto industry.

The Clatsop Community College Royal Nebeker Art Gallery will open its 2016/2017 exhibition season with a show entitled The Beauty of Inelegance, a solo exhibition by Laura Viola-Preciado. Selected to exhibit in the 2016 Au Naturel competition by Lisa Harris, the highly respected director and owner of Lisa Harris Gallery in Seattle, Viola-Preciado was also chosen by the art department faculty to receive the coveted prize of a solo exhibition.
