Dr. David L. Sturges
Associate Professor
University of Texas, Pan-American
Dr. Sturges, an associate professor at the University of Texas-Pan American, teaches and consults in strategic planning and organizational development based on Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) concepts and practices. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of North Texas, an MBA from East Texas State University, and BBA from Abilene Christian University of Dallas. Prior to entering academics, Dr. Sturges spent 13 years in professional practice of advertising and public relations. His combination of professional experience and teaching CQI at the doctoral level and advising educational institutions on application of the concepts create the knowledge base that led to his being named to head the CQI task force for UTPA. His recent publications focus on educational reform and innovative education applications in higher education. The publication on educational reform proposed modification of higher education mindsets from traditional limitations to job responsibility to views of contribution to organizational (university) success as necessary in the changing world of public oversight and desires for accountability. The publications on innovation focus on incorporation of diverse course delivery techniques to make education more accessible, effective, and efficient for traditional and non-traditional students.
