Dr. DeSandra Washington
Dean, Fayetteville Technical Community College
Spring Lake Campus
A native of Fayetteville and graduate of E.E. Smith, Dr. Washington headed
to North Carolina Central University to complete her post-high school educa-
tion all the way through to her doctorate. As the dean of the Spring Lake FTCC
campus, she is very involved with the Spring Lake Chamber of Commerce as
well as the Fayetteville Regional Chamber and her sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha.
Aer working in the public school system in Charlotte, she felt it didn't meet
her needs and wants as she sought to work with adults in continuing education.
"It was just the right avenue for me," she said.
Dr. Washington has been with FTCC for over 15 years and thanks her men-
tors who have helped her along the way, filling many different roles at the com-
munity college and moving up the ladder.
She enjoys meeting the needs of the Spring Lake community, which is con-
tinuing education, as it is her passion. "I love to see people succeed. It's a diverse
population at Spring Lake and I am always fighting for the underdog," she con-
fessed. "It's important for people to understand their worth."
Dr. Washington enjoys going into the Spring Lake community and serving
those who need it most. Currently, she is involved in Leadership Fayetteville. "It
comes along with the job. You have to accommodate the civic components of
the profession."
