DeVry University announced the appointment of Darryl W. Field, PhD as president of its Fort Washington campus and Philadelphia area centers. Field brings to his new position a distinguished background in education, business management and technology, and proven growth at DeVry locations.

Finally, Field has taught college-level coursework for the past 12 years.
"Darryl is passionate about student success--a passion that began in the classroom and eventually led him into the positions of educational leadership mentioned above. We are excited about the fresh perspectives and standards of excellence that Darryl brings to the presidency of the Fort Washington campus. His strength and experience in execution and operations is matched by a vision for educational innovation and metro growth," said Harold Y. McCulloch, Jr., DeVry's Northeast Metro President.
Field earned his bachelor's degree in economics from Wilfrid Laurier University (Waterloo, Canada), an M.A. in religion from Dallas Theological Seminary (Dallas, TX), and a Ph.D. in organizational leadership in business management from Regent University (Virginia Beach, VA).
