Naol Debele, 20, was appointed by Governor Jay Inslee to serve from through June 2018 as a student trustee and voting member of the Edmonds Community College Board of Trustees.
“The impact I had as a student government officer really fulfilled me,” Debele said, “but I knew I could have a higher position where I could gain more experience while at the same time make decisions that would affect the college as a whole. It’s the next step for me and a challenge.”
Debele is pursuing an associate in arts transfer degree with an interest in physics. Outside of school, he is studying for his private pilot license and is a member of Black Pilots of America.
