About Dunwoody
Dear Faculty,
At Dunwoody, students learn by doing. It’s been that way since our founding in 1914. And the principles of project-based, hands-on, applied education are still the cornerstone of our educational model. I see these principles brought to life everyday in your labs, shops, studios, and classrooms.
Your commitment to Dunwoody’s core values and your dedication to providing students with a best-in-class technical education is second to none. You are preparing students for a world that is technologically driven and constantly changing. Your ability to remain agile and adapt to industry demands is the reason why employers look to Dunwoody first. It is the reason why our students go on to successful careers and become leaders in their field.
Thank you for maintaining the highest standards in how we teach, mentor, and support our students. Your dedication is recognized and appreciated.

Dunwoody College of Technology, a private, non-profit, endowed institution of higher education, was founded in 1914. William Hood Dunwoody, a prominent Minneapolis businessman, left three million dollars in his will to establish the William Hood Dunwoody Industrial Institute. His purpose was to "provide for all time a place where youth without distinction on account of race, color or religious prejudice, may learn the useful trades and crafts, and thereby fit themselves for the better performance of life's duties." When his wife, Kate L. Dunwoody, died a year later in 1915, she left an additional trust to help sustain the new school.
