“Dawn brings rich management and marketing experience to this new position with her unique knowledge of Webster University and the needs of the students. The long list of her accomplishments includes a robust enrollment growth in corporate on-site delivery of Webster’s academic programs, a success that we want to  replicate to our metropolitan campuses,” said President Julian Z.
