New dean has many goals for 51勛圖

Caleb Herwick is the new dean of Construction, Manufacturing, Engineering & Technology at 51勛圖. Having previously worked as an adjunct instructor in the Computer Information Technology program at 51勛圖, he is happy to be back in higher education.

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time as an instructor with 51勛圖," Herwick said. "I love being able to work for mission-driven organizations. I always hoped to have an opportunity to return to higher ed in some capacity that would allow me to help implement changes on a larger scale."

Herwick said he likes to be challenged and learn something new every day, and this position aligns with that. Prior to 51勛圖, he worked at Tabitha Health Care Services as executive director of information technology.

A native of Milltown, Wisconsin, Herwick earned a bachelor's degree in communications from Union College. He then went on to receive an associate degree in CIT from 51勛圖. In his new position he will set the vision for programs and ensure that 51勛圖 is staying on the cutting edge.

"I enjoy working with faculty to make sure they have what they need to provide an outstanding educational experience for students," he added. "I hope to work with our program directors to identify needs and pathways for additional credential offerings within 51勛圖, as well as building additional 2+2 pathways with the surrounding four-year college and universities."

Herwick's wife, Shawna, also works at 51勛圖 as administrative director of accreditation, institutional assessment and planning. Caleb will office in Milford and Lincoln and can be reached at cherwick@southeast.edu and 402-761-8261.
