The scenery is absolutely beautiful and the people are nice as well,” Nedelcu said. “The quality* of life here is so different. On the east coast, the people work more, for less money, and the rhythm of life is so much faster, so you are quite privileged here in Oregon. I think it’s a very good place to start a family.” In addition to working as a Clackamas instructor, Nedelcu also works at Clackamas as an employee of Intel, to prepare graduates for en try-level jobs in the field of micro electronics. “My position is paid by Intel and we are very successful with our pro gram. Because of lacking funds, we had only three students last year, but this year, about 30 students are participating in the pro gram and we have lots of phone calls for next term,” Nedelcu explained. In her free time, Nedelcu enjoys reading books, playing tennis and travel ing. “Traveling is my first love, and. I have been all over. I quite enjoy see ing other people— the differences and things we have in common,” she said. When asked about Clackamas, Nedelcu de scribed it as a “wonder ful place.” “The place is so clean and there is so much space, you don’t feel invaded. Especially the people are so nice. I think it’s a great team and I’m happy to be part of it.” MIKE POLLOCK / Clackamas Print Sanda Nedelcu is an instructor in the growing microelectronics program.
