Application | Student Trustee 2025-2026

The Board of Trustees is the highest governing body of the College that makes policy and budget decisions which affect all stakeholders of Edmonds College. The President reports to the Board of Trustees, and the trustees are appointed by the Governor of the State of Washington. The student trustee is a full voting member on the board whose primary job is to give students a greater voice in the College's governance.

The student trustee will participate in decision–making and provide insight into how the College's decisions may impact students' experience. The student perspective of the student trustee position can give the board a better understanding of the needs of a community college student.

1. Be a full-time student (12 or more credits) at Edmonds College during the Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters in the 2025-2026 Academic Year.

4. Must attend Board of Trustees [BOT] Meetings from July 1st, 2025, through June 30th, 2026. The Board of Trustees typically meets once a month.
