Randa Wahbe is an ideal candidate who brings over two decades of experience in community college teaching and leadership. Her strong roots in the district are an invaluable asset. She knows how to bring together faculty and administration to promote Citrus College's core mission: To serve the students. — Gerhard Peters
President, Citrus College Faculty Association
I’ve known Randa for many years. Randa is a leader and strong advocate for California Community Colleges. I have observed this firsthand through her work with the Community College Association, the higher education arm under the umbrella of the California Teachers Association. I give her my strongest endorsement. — Paul Swatzel
Professor of Mathematics, Citrus College
As a mama and educator, I have at times felt overworked and undervalued. This is precisely the reason I will never forget the moment I first met Dr. Randa Wahbe, an ardent community college guardian; because as she spoke, I felt seen. For decades, Randa Wahbe has worked to advocate for parent educators, contingent staff, and students in all the rooms she occupies. Randa is a relentless voice for local, state, and national education struggles, and her approach is clear, kind, thoughtful, and persistent. I am so honored to endorse her candidacy for the Board of Trustees. Dr. Wahbe’s experience developing policy, promoting wellness through community walks, managing meetings, and working with students all make her a candidate who would add tremendous value to education and our community.
— Dr. Chris Cruz-Boone
