In the past 20+ years, she has been both faculty member and administrator for brick and mortar and online universities. Dr. Dawson has participated in varied educational collaborations between the public and private sectors. Since joining Walden in 2005, she has taught research methodology, written several courses, and served on many doctoral committees as chair, committee member, and URR.
