Warwick Named Assistant Professor of Psychology

Dr. Daniel Warwick, LPE, will join the faculty full-time as assistant professor of psychology, beginning the Spring 2025 Semester.

Warwick served as an adjunct professor in the psychology department at Ozarks during the Fall 2024 Semester.

"I'm pretty excited about having the opportunity to share my expertise, to learn and grow with students, and to discover more of this wonderful campus community," Warwick said.

Warwick taught at Arkansas Tech University from 2012-2016 and has also been a licensed therapist in private practice as well as with Western Arkansas Counseling and Guidance Centers.

He earned a master's degree and a Ph.D. in counseling psychology from UCA. He also has a background in electrical engineering, earning both a bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.

"I've always enjoyed helping others to learn, from being a peer tutor in school to working as a teaching assistant and volunteering at various schools as an engineer," Warwick said. "Learning psychology has taught me lot about how the mind works, and developing my skills as a therapist has enabled me to better assess student learning and engagement."

Warwick said he approaches teaching "as a special kind of sharing, where the value grows rather than diminishes with the sharing. I see learning as an active exercise and try to encourage questioning and group involvement."

Warwick's wife, Tracy Cole, J.D. is the dean of the College of Business and Economic Development at Arkansas Tech University. Their daughter, Eva, is a law school student.

Outside of academia, Warwick enjoys gardening, landscaping and raising livestock. He also enjoys making things, including: electronics, primitive chemistry, ceramics and pottery, wood working, crochet, smelting and casting aluminum and other metals, beer and wine, cheese, soap, candles, electroplating, fireworks, and glass blowing. Other interest include programming, cooking and hosting, and "exploring philosophy and other deep conversations."
