That is not a question Gabriel Nicholson ponders about. Instead, he enjoys imagining radio waves traveling through the vacuum when he is in a class, and mesmerizing his audience with the rich and mellow sound of clarinet and brass instruments after the class. Gabriel is an Electrical Engineering senior in the Department of Engineering Science. He has been playing instruments for various SSU and community performances since his sophomore year. In addition to playing instruments, he also enjoys fencing. Gabriel is graduating in May 2022.
