"Melvin Washington (’14) is living up to his #WakeDebate nickname 'Senator Washington.' He currently serves as Special Assistant to the Undersecretary at USDA Research, Education, and Economics. President @barackobama has recognized him as one of the top political appointees under the age of 35. Next year he will leave the @usdagov to attend graduate school at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the @uofmichigan. #GoDeacs!" - Wake Debate
