Eugene McAvoy
Associate Dean of Student LIFE

Hi! I am Eugene McAvoy, the new Associate Dean of Student LIFE. In this role, I get to work with and learn from staff and students involved with organizations and clubs, Student Government, the Student LIFE Ambassador program, the Trojan Activities Board, and the Publicity Services team. I also work closely with Student Conduct and the Behavior Intervention Team that, contrary to the impersonal name, strives to support students who may face extraordinary challenges as they work toward their goals.
I have been with the college for the past ten years, serving as the Dean of Communication and Social Sciences. I am moving to Student LIFE for the opportunity to work more closely with students who really are the reason any of us are here. I have a Master of Fine Arts degree from Old Dominion University and completed my Bachelor’s degree from Excelsior University largely through nontraditional courses. Prior to joining higher education, I spent eight years in the US Navy’s submarine force and more than ten years as a Nuclear Refueling Engineer and Training Manager at Newport News Shipbuilding.
Outside of work, I am fortunate to serve on the board of Leadership Launch, a youth leadership development program working with high school students and first year college students in Snohomish County. I read and write a lot, meditate for at least an hour every day, and when time, weather, and my partner and three dogs allow, enjoy cycling and hiking.

Hello! My name is Lindsay Hudson and I started working at Everett Community college in 2001, following the completion of my bachelor’s degree in Human Services from Western Washington University. I loved the EvCC community so much that I never left! This passion still exists today and I value being a part of the educational journey of so many amazing students!
I am the advisor to the Trojan Activities Board (TAB)! I enjoy serving as a mentor as they learn about event planning, project management and teamwork, while organizing many fun and engaging events for students here at EvCC. I also really love networking with campus partners and finding innovative opportunities to work together in order to support our students. Teamwork makes the dreamwork!
I am also the mom of two teenage boys and a “labrahound”! We enjoy exploring the outdoors and finding new adventures. .I also spend a lot of time cheering my boys on at cross-country and track meets as well as a lot of baseball games! When I find some “me time”, I love baking, spending time with my girlfriends and shopping without someone asking me “Are you done yet?”

Hi! I’m Christine, I am an alum of EvCC with a background in graphic design and multimedia. I serve as the advisor to Student LIFE’s Publicity Services’ graphic design and social media interns as well as EvCC’s Trojan Mascot.
I was a barista in a past life and am a professional creative. I believe in the magic of coffee and unicorns as well as using platforms like the arts and social media as tools to amplify the student voice.
I also enjoy exploring the PNW by kayak, general outdoorsiness (sure that’s a word), finding time to recharge as an introvert, hanging out with my family and going on adventures with my close friends!
