Corby Williams

Administrative Support Assistant

My journey to the Leonhard Center:

I started working in the Leonhard Center in 2022. My first full-time job at Penn State was in the College of Engineering Dean’s Office working for former Dean Elnashai. Since then, I’ve served in various administrative roles in a few engineering departments and units. During my time in the College, I got to know some of the faculty and staff in the Leonhard Center and am excited to now be a part of this group.

Helping faculty and staff meet their goals

Its mission is to catalyze the changes that are crucial to maintaining world-class engineering education at Penn State. In 2006 the Leonhard Center became the home for two other major programs that support teaching and learning in the College - the Office of Assessment & Instructional Support and Programs for Engineering Writing & Speaking.
