Danny Wobbleton, Jr.
Wobbleton chosen to lead BCCC student government
A second-year college transfer student who recently returned from
hurricane relief efforts on the Gulf Coast has been chosen to lead the student
government at Beaufort County Community College for the 2005-2006 academic
year.
Danny Wobbleton, Jr., who is pursing an associate’s degree from BCCC,
began his term as president of BCCC’s Student Government Association for the
academic year, beginning with the start of the fall semester on August 16. Other
student government officers for the year are Jimmie Clark Jr., vice president, and
Carrie Peed, secretary /treasurer. Clark, also of Plymouth, was one of two student
government presidents during the 2004-2005 academic year.
Wobbleton, 19, of Plymouth, is a 2004 graduate of Plymouth High School.
He is the son of Danny and Judy Wobbleton of Plymouth, and hopes to transfer
to East Carolina University and pursue a degree in business after graduating
from BCCC.
Besides pursuing a career in real estate, Wobbleton also hopes to
continue his studies with the goal of becoming a youth minister. He recently
worked for six days in Mobile, Ala., and Biloxi, Miss., as a volunteer with
Samaritan's Purse, a volunteer organization based in North Carolina, helping
repair damaged roofs and remove fallen trees from the homes of Hurricane
Katrina victims.
Wobbleton is a member of the Plymouth Church of Christ and, in his
spare time, enjoys playing the guitar, working on cars and playing sports. A
former Plymouth High School football player, Wobbleton recently spent about a
month in Australia playing in a football tournament.
As the new SGA President, Wobbleton said he wants to take student
suggestions to improve the school and turn them into action. He hopes to help
improve student facilities on campus and develop a sports program for students
at BCCC. Wobbleton succeeds Clark and Tori Johnson, of Washington, as
student government president.
The Student Government Association at BCCC provides an organized
avenue of student involvement in the college. The SGA implements and plans
activities that provide students with social and service projects that interest them.
