YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Following nearly a decade of service to Arizona Western College (AWC), AWC President Dr. Daniel Corr announced his intent to retire.
Corr made the announcement during Thursday’s district governing board meeting. His retirement marks 34 years of service in community college education.
The college says Doctor Corr will be remembered for his celebration and promotion of AWC’s first-generation students.
He helped expand partnerships that have led to an increase in external funding through grants, fundraising, and a first-ever state appropriation of $15 million in 2024.
Another accomplishment is the development of a model for career and technical education, that has been recognized across the nation and globally.
Corr’s retirement will be effective in July of 2026.
