Message from the President

It is my honor to serve as the 3rd President of William Howard Taft University  

Our legacy of providing quality distance education spans four decades, and we are committed to continuing to offer a highly respected educational experience that equips our graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve their life goals. 

At WHTU, we value learners of all backgrounds. Our focus is on academic excellence, innovative programs, and respecting the needs of the adult learner. We understand the challenge of balancing education with life's responsibilities, and we are dedicated to supporting you every step of the way.  Our flexible learning environment is designed to meet the needs of high-achieving adults pursuing an undergraduate or graduate program. Our highly qualified faculty members and staff are committed help you with a rewarding and challenging educational experience.  

On a personal note, as President of WHTU, I want to acknowledge that returning to school as an adult is a vulnerable and brave endeavor. I recall the start of my doctoral journey and the awkward feeling of stepping back to the classroom after feeling confident as a professional. I listened as professors spoke about transformation and growth and I wondered exactly what that meant. I now understand. Each of us brings a unique set of life experiences to our educational journey. We each have stories to tell and furthering our education provides us with a broadened set of analytical and tactical skills to enhance our story and open new opportunities to share and be heard.  

We are here to help you achieve your dreams. 

Sincerely,

Dr. Amy Kahn
