Superior Court Judge John E. Nobles Jr., right, administers the oath of the office to Geoffrey Hulse, Wayne Community College's newest trustee.
Gov. Roy Cooper appointed attorney B. Geoffrey Hulse to serve as a member of the Wayne Community College board of trustees.
Hulse started in July, following his installation to the board.
During his first meeting on July 24, he reflected on Kirk Keller, a well-known WCC instructor who passed away in April after a brief illness. Hulse said he plans to work hard for the college to honor Keller's memory.
"Being selected is very exciting and touching," Hulse said. "It was just something in the providence of life that I be selected."
Hulse is an attorney with the Haithcock, Barfield, Hulse and Kinsey law firm.
He holds a bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a law degree from Campbell University.
Hulse has been active in the community with many organizations, including the United Way of Wayne County, Wayne County Chamber of Commerce, Wayne County Board of Elections, the Arts Council of Wayne County, Wayne County Boys and Girls Club, the Downtown Goldsboro Development Corp., Wayne Charitable Partnership, Wayne Public Library Advisory Council and St. Stephen's Episcopal Church.
Wayne Community College is a public, learning-centered institution with an open-door admission policy in Goldsboro.
WCC, which works to develop a highly skilled and competitive workforce, serves around 12,000 individuals annually as well as businesses, industry and community organizations with high quality, affordable, accessible learning opportunities, including more than 70 college credit programs.
WCC's mission is to meet the educational, training and cultural needs of the community it serves.
