Governor Jay Inslee recently appointed Nathaniel McMillion to serve as the student trustee on Central Washington University’s board for the 2020-21 academic year.
McMillion, a senior majoring in public relations and minoring in Africana and Black Studies, served as CWU’s Black Student Union (BSU) president last year.
“The opportunity to bring multiple parties to the table and be able to have a good dialogue and discussions with those parties, that’s my favorite thing about PR,” McMillion said about the skills he will put to good use as CWU’s student trustee.
He replaces Alex Harrington, the 2019-20 student trustee.
“I knew this was a huge opportunity to keep the ball rolling with everything that Alex has done as far as making sure that proper student fees are in place and tuition stays affordable and equitable for students,” said McMillion, a 2011 Bethel High School graduate.
