OUTSTANDING FACULTY MEMBER
Dr. Mike Hoffman is a professor and advisor in the Department of Electrical Engineering. As such, he interacts with many students. Yet, he still finds a way to make each student feel important and listened to. He is great at remembering names and greets students with a hello or smile, when passing them in the hall. He is a man with many answers, and is more than willing to share his knowledge with students, whether it is class, career, or life related. The electrical engineering department is certainly lucky to have him.
