From 1975 to 1977 he was the Director of Inmate Higher Education at Clinton Community College. He was also the Chair of the Business Division at CCC from 1970-1973.

Woodward has been active in educational activities throughout his career. He served as Chair of Massachusetts Council of Presidents, Chair of the College of Technology Presidents, and Chair of the Pennsylvania Community College Presidents Association, just to name a few.

He earned his Doctor of Education at the University of Virginia, 1981, and a Master of Science at SUNY Plattsburgh. He did his graduate work while attending SUNY Albany, and earned his bachelor’s at Castleton State College, in Castleton, Vermont.
 
“Fred is no stranger to TDC and was a well-respected and active member of the Board of Directors and served on our Education Committee,” said Donald F.

We are delighted to have Fred back on board in this new capacity.”
