Wilmington, Del., Dec. 7, 2009 — Dawn Career Institute leadership is pleased to announce William Harris recently joined DCI as Director of Education. Harris, a career college alumnus and former instructor, has more than seven years’ experience in career education management and teaching. Given his background, Harris is particularly well-versed in the challenges that career education students must overcome. He works with the institute’s faculty and staff to continue providing high-quality career education and forward-thinking education strategies in both the classroom and online realms.

In his new role, Harris provides organizational leadership to the institute’s academic endeavors and oversees the professional development of staff and faculty members. He also advises students, keeping them motivated to pursue their education through completion, and works with faculty to ensure essential support to equip students for some of today’s burgeoning career fields.
