David L. Greene

Director of Student Life

I am a first-generation college student and did not take my first college course until I was 30 years old.

I was Born in Detroit and raised in the South. I worked in the corporate world for a number of years before returning to get an education. I graduated with a BA in Political Science and a minor in Community Studies, a MA in Educational Administration. I am currently working to complete a doctorate in Educational Leadership.

My current research focuses on adult student transition from employment to college.

My academic experience includes administrative assistant in the Department of History at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), Coordinator of LGBTQ Resource Center at UMKC, Interim Assistant Director of Student Life at UMKC and currently the Director of Student Programming at CCP.

Outside of work, I have been in a great relationship for over 19 years and have a beautiful, smart and talented 13 year old daughter whose dreams about the future are always changing.
