KENT, Wash., April 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- WGU Washington, the online, nonprofit university, announced today that Dr. Tonya Drake will lead the university as Chancellor.

A leader in higher education for nearly 25 years, Drake joins WGU Washington from Edmonds Community College, where she was the Vice President for College Relations and Advancement. Prior to joining Edmonds, she held leadership positions at other institutions, including Shoreline Community College, Maricopa Community College District, Arizona Board of Regents, Arizona State University, and the University of Washington.

Drake earned advanced degrees from Arizona State University, including a Ph.D. in Education Leadership and Policy Studies. She is a graduate of the University of Washington's Foster School of Business and – with a degree from Lower Columbia College – a product of Washington state's community and technical college system.
"The opportunity to provide leadership for WGU Washington, the state's largest private, nonprofit university, is very exciting," said Drake. "With its innovative, competency-based approach, the university offers personal support to ensure students succeed and delivers affordable, in-demand degree programs to meet Washington's workforce needs."
