Rachel Campbell (she/her) serves as an Executive Assistant at the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). Before joining NWCCU, Rachel worked as a Legislative Assistant to the Chair of the Postsecondary Education & Workforce Committee in the Washington State House of Representatives.
