Governor Hobbs recognizes Dr. Daniel Corr’s transformative leadership at AWC
November 21, 2025Yuma, Ariz. (November 21, 2025) – Arizona Western College is proud to announce that AWC President Dr. Daniel Corr recently received a commendation from Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, recognizing his decade of leadership and his long-standing commitment to expanding educational opportunity across Yuma, La Paz, and the state of Arizona.
In an address to the Arizona Community College Coordinating Council earlier this week, Governor Hobbs underscored the progress AWC has made under Dr. Corr’s direction. She highlighted the growth of community partnerships that have expanded access to education and workforce development, opening doors for thousands of students across the region.
Governor Hobbs also marked AWC as a state leader in enrollment growth, transfer success, and early college enrollment, crediting Dr. Corr’s commitment to student success.
“I was truly speechless as Governor Hobbs read aloud a proclamation honoring me and AWC during AC4’s visit with her this week,” Dr. Corr reflected. “The work we are doing is being recognized at the highest levels of our state and beyond.”
By the time of his retirement in July 2026, Dr. Corr will have spent 35 years serving Arizona’s community colleges, a career marked by a transformative commitment to student success and regional growth. Arizona Western College extends its appreciation to Governor Hobbs for this recognition and to the dedicated teams whose work continues to strengthen our communities.
