Mike Godson

When it comes to buying cars, what drives Americans? Sales were strong during the final months of 2011, and the industry is predicting additional growth in 2012. As customers return to the market, what will they find? That will be the focus on Tuesday, Jan. 24, as Clark College automotive technology professor Mike Godson presents “Driving the Future: Automobiles in the 21st Century,” the next event in Clark’s acclaimed Faculty Speaker Series.

“It’s exciting to see the advances in technology and design every year,” says Godson, who was named Educator of the Year during the 2009 North American Council of Automotive Teachers conference. In his presentation, Godson will discuss why auto technology and skilled trades are vital for our regional and national economy.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held at 1 p.m. in the Penguin Student Lounge, located in the Penguin Union Building on Clark’s main campus at 1933 Fort Vancouver Way, Vancouver. Driving directions and parking maps are available at www.clark.edu/maps.
