DeAndre Washington

WCCS student DeAndre Washington was recently selected to serve on the Complete College America (CCA) HBCU Digital Learning Infrastructure (DLI) Student Advisory Council.

The event will be held on April 28-30 in Birmingham.

Washington, a freshman Drafting and Design student, was selected along with 14 others from other HBCUs, Predominately Black Community Colleges (PBCCs), and Historically Black Community Colleges (HBCCs). 

I am very excited to be a part of the HBCU Digital Learning Infrastructure (DLI) Student Advisory Council and have the opportunity to show my talents and share my thoughts with other amazing students and faculty alike,” said Washington. 

“It is a great opportunity for students to have a voice in policy recommendations that will reform the digital learning footprint in higher education,” said Michael Walker, WCCS Music Instructor and Arts and Sciences Department Chair. “In addition, Mr. Washington will be compensated $2,000 for his participation.”  

“This program will help not only me but, others as well.  We will gain opportunities to aid in making our PBCCs and HBCCs better while having fun and learning from one another. I hope to be able to carry the knowledge and rewards I have received from Wallace Community College Selma and share them with the HBCU DLI Student Advisor Council,” said Washington
