An early-career higher and postsecondary education scholar, Dr. Walter Ecton researches the intersections between high school, higher education, and the workforce, and the pathways students take as they navigate those sectors. 

His expertise in studying how youth and adults matriculate into and pursue post-secondary education through a lens of diversity, inclusion, justice, and equity will be a welcome addition to the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education at the Marsal School.

He joins the faculty at Marsal Education after serving as an assistant professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at Florida State University.
