Furthermore, he holds an MPA from Walden University, and is now pursuing a Ph.D. in engineering with a focus on human factors. His current graduate research at Wright State focuses on interventions that increase student retention in open enrollment schools like Wright State. Tony worked several years in workforce development and education outside Wright State starting there in 2007, when he was hired as an enrollment advisor for the Department of Electrical Engineering and later served as the Assistant to the Chair. He then transitioned to the Dean’s Office and served as the
