Bio
Nicholas W.
Dr. Tabar-Gaul has been my instructor for several online classes at Mesa Community College. Her instructional capabilities and techniques are by far superior and very favored by me. Each time I noticed her name as an instructor I could have, I did not have a second guess about choosing her class to take. I knew I would receive quality education and no problems with my e-learning experience. Thank you very much for your efforts and guidance in helping me obtain my degree. As such, I would highly recommend Dr. Tabar-Gaul to any future students who have the opportunity and privilege to take her classes. Along with any education employers she may wish to apply. Sincerely, Nicholas Wallace

Lo-An has been a long time wonderful friend of mine. As co-faculty members, our commitment to Mesa Community College and the Asian Pacific Islander Association (APIA) of the Maricopa Community College District specially bonded our friendship. Lo-An, who served as President of APIA, showed her special qualities of leadership while always seeking excellence in her work. Her concern for others was especially highlighted in one goal, among her many lofty goals, which was to provide help, support and scholarships for our students.
