NMC acting president Danny Wyatt recently received a letter from Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers informing the college that seven of the college’s faculty members will be honored in this year’s edition of Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers®, 2005/2006.
The seven faculty members honored this year are: Cyndy S. Tice, Brante C. Dashiell, Samuel McPhetres, Margarita D. Tudela, Tony Flores, Dr. Debra T. Cabrera and Brenda L. Schultz.

NMC students challenge and inspire us as teachers, and we can only hope that we do the same for them. I am personally grateful for this acknowledgement, and for the privilege to be a part of the students’ learning experience.”
