Schoenenberger named vice president at HCC

Dawn Schoenenberger was recently appointed the vice president of academic affairs and student services. She has been serving as the interim vice president since Dr. David Warner’s retirement in 2023.

“I am humbled and honored to assume this position,” Schoenenberger said. “Accepting this role is a commitment to fostering an environment of transparency, collaboration, and innovation, with the goal of creating an optimal environment to support our students’ long-term goals.”

Dawn first started at HCC in 2004, as an instructional assistant and, later, the coordinator of testing and tutoring. She has also served as an adjunct faculty member. In 2008, she became the director of developmental education and the Program of Adult Literacy Services (PALS) at HCC.

Prior to that, she worked at Pierce College as a nontraditional educational specialist and continued at Casey Family Programs as a technology and work experience specialist.

She holds an associate degree from Pierce College, a bachelor's degree from Pacific Lutheran University, and a master's degree from Capella University. She will begin a doctoral program, Executive Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership and Innovation, at St. Francis University in August.
