J. Clinton Grant, the former dean of aviation, business and logistics at Tarrant Community College, assumes his new role on Oct. 23.Texas Woman’s University has tapped a former pilot and aviation dean to run its new aviation school, and he’s excited to recruit more women into a field he’s been passionate about all his life.
J. Clinton Grant, the new director of Texas Woman’s University’s aviation school, has been in higher education since 2000 and designed curriculum and led development in the area of pilot training at Tarrant County College, where he was the dean of aviation, business and logistics. He was also an aircraft maintenance technician at Delta Air Lines and Sunjet Airlines.Grant describes himself as someone who “just fell in love with airplanes” as a kid, and knew what he always wanted to do.
He said the market that Dallas-Fort Worth brings for students interested in aviation — two major carriers and two major airports — will make Texas Woman’s University stand out.Men have been admitted to both undergraduate and graduate programs at TWU since 1994, and the aviation program would be open to all genders. Men account for about 11% of the overall student population while women are about 89% of the population, according to Texas Woman’s University.
“Clint Grant has a wealth of aviation experience that spans both the academic and corporate arenas,” said O. Finley Graves, interim executive vice president for academic affairs and provost at Texas Woman’s University in a release. “His reputation will give the Doswell School instant credibility and put our aeronautical sciences program in a strong position to flourish as it recruits faculty and students and launches its inaugural year.
Grant earned a bachelor’s degree in aviation technology and avionics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 1988 and an MBA is business finance from the University of North Texas in 1996.From startups to some of the largest Fortune 500s, Dallas-Fort Worth has pulled in some major businesses to the region. And nearly all will attribute their relocations, at least in part, to DFW International Airport.
