Former governing board trustee David Jay Agosto died suddenly this month from liver failure. He was 65.
Agosto worked at Southwestern College in the 1970s and was at one time director of financial aid.
He later worked at the California Community College Chancellor’s office in Sacramento before becoming vice president of student services at Cuyamaca College.
In 2000 Agosto was elected to the SWC Governing Board and served for eight years. He was a community college administration for 25 years and spent six years as an adjunct instructor.
“What was important, was that all the years since he had been here as an employee and had left to work in other places, he always wanted to come back and serve Southwestern College as a board member,” said trustee Norma Hernandez.
