Mike Oberlin, a longtime Social Science instructor, passed away at 66 years old from health-related issues recently while traveling in Ecuador. He was a wonderful, caring person who taught psychology for NMC for the last 21 years. In addition to his dedication to his students, he had a great passion for traveling with his wife Merri to foreign lands. He will be greatly missed.
