Everett Community College (EvCC) has selected publisher Chris H. Bennett and Snohomish County Courtroom Operations Manager Sonya Kraski as the college’s 2020 Distinguished Alumni.
The distinguished alumni award is the highest honor given to Everett Community College and Everett Junior College alumni.
“I am grateful for the educators that took special interest in me and motivated me to follow through on my visions as I transitioned from college into my professional endeavors which took ultimately me from Everett, Washington to Washington, D.C. and beyond,” Bennett said.
In 1970, Bennett founded The Seattle Medium to provide a media outlet for the African American community.
“If it weren’t for my class at EvCC, I would have never gone to the Clerk’s office,” Kraski said.
