David Newton, Ph.D.

David Newton is a professor at the University of West Georgia and a member of the teaching and research faculty in the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies within University College. He also serves as Senior Fellow for Student Success in the Office of the Provost where he works with faculty and staff from across campus on UWG's student success projects and initiatives. Dr. Newton earned his degrees from the College of Charleston (B.A., English), the Candler School of Theology (M.Div., Historical Theology), and Emory University (Ph.D., Linguistics). At the undergraduate and graduate levels, he has taught courses in linguistics, research & methods, and literary studies. At UWG, he also has served in leadership roles as a program director, department chair, dean, and associate vice-president for academic affairs.
