Inauguration planned for September
Scott Stallman, Ph.D., is stepping into his new role as President of Dunwoody College of Technology at an exciting time for technical education – when the demand for qualified graduates in the dynamic fields of engineering, design, and high-skilled trades continues to evolve and expand.
Stallman, who has served as Provost at Dunwoody since 2021, was selected for the position back in January, and began his role July 1, following the retirement of former President Rich Wagner.
As President, Stallman will lead a college focused on preparing students for great-paying careers in high-demand fields.
“I look forward to building on Dunwoody’s long history of producing work-ready, in-demand graduates,”
Stallman said. “At the same time, we will be looking to the future and exploring innovative new partnerships and opportunities that can best serve our students, the community, and industry going forward.”
Stallman is committed to ensuring that students who invest in a Dunwoody education continue to see the value in their investment.
“One of the things that drew me to Dunwoody was its commitment to investing in programs that are setting our students up for financial and career success upon graduating,” he said. “That will continue to be a priority during my presidency. We will continue to refine our programs to align with the changing job market.”
An Inauguration for President Stallman will be held this September.
