service at CWU, Dr. Hibbs served as the Director of Partnerships and Professional Development at Pacific Lutheran University, and as at the Director of Field Placements, Certifications, Advising, and Assessment at the University of Washington Tacoma. </span></span><span style="font-size:13.0pt; color:black"></span></p>

<span class="s2"><span style="font-size:13.0pt; font-family:"UICTFontTextStyleBody",serif; color:black">In joining the system, Lauren shares, “Washington community colleges are among the top student-focused institutions in the country. We see evidence of this
through the development and implementation of key initiatives and programs; through collaborative statewide agreements, commissions and councils; through the implementation of over 100 regionally based BAS programs; and through their commitment to racial,
social, and economic justice. I am honored to serve the institutions who are making a significant impact within our communities, and ultimately our students.” </span></span><span style="font-size:13.0pt; color:black"></span></p>
