About
Government relations at Bellevue College means the promotion of higher education policy and budget priorities in coordination with the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges. Legislative outreach includes all elected officials whose constituents learn, work, and play at Bellevue College. From cities of Bellevue and Issaquah to U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, plus six legislative districts represented in Olympia, we educate and inform all parties about legislation, initiatives, and opportunities. This includes educating the campus community about legislation affecting Bellevue College. We offer tours of campus, engagement with faculty members, and inclusion of student organizations and interest groups as a component of our advocacy.
The office of the president advocates for Bellevue College’s state priorities to the Legislature and Governor in Olympia. These priorities are shared by the SBCTC and all 34 community and technical colleges across Washington state.
The office of the president advocates for Bellevue College’s federal priorities to Washington’s congressional delegation, and utilizes the board of trustees, administrators, and national groups to help set federal priorities.
