New Harris-Stowe president sees an 'awesome opportunity'

St. Louis, Missouri  -- The young man in the dark suit jumped onto the stage Thursday afternoon, grasped the edges of the podium and declared himself a visionary leader.

It was Dwaun J. Warmack’s official introduction as the new president of Harris-Stowe State University, and he wasted little time stating his four main goals, beginning with academic excellence.

“That has to be the core of what we do,” said Warmack, 37.

The three other goals, he said, are establishing a recruitment and retention program, creating a marketing and branding campaign and focusing on “friendraising and fundraising.”

He explained the latter as building more community partners. Warmack comes to St. Louis from Daytona Beach, Fla., where he has served since July 2010 as a vice president at Bethune-Cookman University. Like Bethune-Cookman, Harris-Stowe is among the nation’s more than 100 historically black colleges and universities.
