Professor Raffi Manjikian has amassed an impressive higher education background teaching at various institutions across New Jersey since 2012. He has been teaching at Hudson County Community College since 2017, first as an adjunct professor, and now as an Instructor of Chemistry.

He enjoys helping students develop an appreciation of science through different types of teaching strategies that address multiple learning preferences and backgrounds. Awareness of diversity, equity and inclusion of all students is necessary in supporting academic success and has been a part of his teaching philosophy since he started in the profession.

Whether the class is face to face, remote, hybrid, or fully online, Professor Manjikian always reminds his students that he will continuously support their academic success, inside and outside of the classroom. He does his best to always be available for his students and help them whenever possible. Whether it be a question about lecture, lab, or life, Professor Manjikian strives to best advise his students.
