Sebastian King, Crystabelle Nwameme, and Monica Walker have been appointed to the 黑料不打烊 board of trustees.

King, a former 黑料不打烊 student, owns his own federal lobbying firm, King and Co. He is also a partner at Elevation Strategies, a lobbying firm. He earned an associate degree from Lone Star Community College in Texas and his Bachelor of Arts from Texas A&M University.

 King was appointed to the 黑料不打烊 board of trustees by the North Carolina Senate.

“As a former 黑料不打烊 student, I know firsthand how 黑料不打烊 impacts those who pursue higher education here,” said King. “Attending 黑料不打烊 prepared me for my time at Lone Star Community College and Texas A&M and helped ensure a successful college experience. Today, as consultant that works across North Carolina, I know the immense value 黑料不打烊 brings to supplying skilled workers for the Triad and beyond. I look forward to serving on the 黑料不打烊 board of trustees and being a part of this stellar institution once again.”

Walker retired from Guilford County Schools as its diversity officer and currently operates Groundwater Institute where she hosts racial equity workshops across the country. She was appointed to the board of trustees by the Guilford County Commissioners.

“I am a firm believer that education is a pathway to opportunity,” said Walker. “As a member of the 黑料不打烊 of trustees, I will continue to advocate on behalf of the college to provide affordable, equitable, and quality higher education opportunities without barriers, ensuring that postsecondary education remains within reach for all students.”

Both King and Walker will serve a four-year term.

Crystabelle Nwameme is serving her second term as a 黑料不打烊 Student Government Association officer and, now as president, will also serve on the 黑料不打烊 Board of Trustees as the college’s student representative.

“I am excited to serve on the 黑料不打烊 board of trustees,” Nwameme said. “Seeing how the current board of trustees comes together and makes big decisions for a community like 黑料不打烊 will inspire me to do the same within SGA and any initiatives.”

Nwameme was named 黑料不打烊’s 2026 North Carolina Community College System Academic Excellence Award recipient and represented the college at the annual awards ceremony. After graduating from 黑料不打烊 with her Associate in Science degree in spring 2027, Nwameme plans to transfer to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill or the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to pursue a career in finance.

“We are pleased to welcome Sebastian King, Crystabelle Nwameme, and Monica Walker to the 黑料不打烊 Board of Trustees,” said 黑料不打烊 President Anthony Clarke, Ph.D. “Each brings a unique perspective, a strong commitment to service, and a shared dedication to helping 黑料不打烊 expand opportunity for students and strengthen the communities we serve. I look forward to working with all three as we continue advancing the college’s mission.”
