Dr. Amanuel Gebru, President of Los Angeles City College, brings a unique perspective to higher education and a keen understanding of the needs of Los Angeles' diverse population. Having immigrated to the U.S. at the age of 8 and navigated college as a first-generation student, Dr. Gebru's personal experience mirrors that of many residents within the United States. He is a visionary who sees excellence in education as a pathway to economic and social mobility.
His pioneering work in international education creates experiences for students and mentors to understand their role in the world. Dr. Gebru's tireless advocacy for underrepresented student populations, particularly African American males, has left an indelible mark on the community college system.
Extending his dedication to equity beyond borders, he played an instrumental role in acquiring 10.3 acres of land to build and develop a Racial Trauma, Wellness, and Healing Center in Ghana. He also serves on the committee for the All-African Diaspora Summit, furthering connections and collaboration on a global scale.
