Dr. Daniel P. Corr, EdD, president of Arizona Western College, laid out a slate of recent college initiatives aimed at Yuma County’s regional workforce and community during an in-depth interview on KAWC’s "What's Up Yuma?" that aired February 23, 2026. The conversation focused on how AWC is aligning education and training with local needs across the region.

The interview on KAWC offered a detailed accounting of AWC’s priorities as described by President Corr. He framed the discussion around recent initiatives and the college’s response to regional workforce, educational and community initiatives, placing AWC’s work in the context of Yuma County institutions that rely on trained graduates and certificate holders.

From an institutional standpoint, Corr used the KAWC platform to position Arizona Western College as a convening body for workforce and education strategy in Yuma County.
