You’re invited: AWC marks decade of transformation with community event
February 11, 2026Yuma, Ariz. (February 11, 2026) – On March 3, the community is invited to a special event celebrating a “Decade of Transformation” at Arizona Western College.
Looking back on ten years marked by program development, state-leading enrollment growth, outstanding student achievements, and impact across Yuma and La Paz Counties, the event will provide an intimate setting to learn more about AWC’s journey while looking forward to the next ten years.
The event will feature multi-media elements along with a fireside chat with Dr. Daniel Corr, who will reflect on his tenure as college President. The discussion will be facilitated by community partner, Dr. Kristina Diaz, President of the Onvida Health Medical Group.
"This event is a chance to hear how the college has been transformed, through the efforts of our faculty and staff, to be more responsive to community needs. Dr. Corr’s vision has touched every corner of the college district, and our students benefit,” said Lorraine Stofft, Vice President of Advancement and Executive Director of the AWC Foundation.
“We’ll also take a peek at what’s on the horizon for Arizona Western as Dr. Corr nears retirement and Dr. Reetika Dhawan prepares to step into that leadership role,” Stofft added.
The Decade of Transformation event will take place on Tuesday, March 3 from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. in the Schoening Conference Center.
While the event is free and open to the public, space is limited. Individuals interested in attending can reserve their seat at this link. Light refreshments will be served.
