Background

About Marion Dunagan

As Program Director for Young Entrepreneur Institute's Northwest Arkansas initiative, I'm passionate about building the next generation of entrepreneurs. Since 2023, I've led our regional expansion, establishing critical partnerships with organizations like Economics Arkansas, StartUp Junkie, and The Venture Center. Under my leadership, we've successfully launched the YIPPEE platform in NWA, connecting thousands of students across the region with entrepreneurship education resources and experiences that build both mindset and skills. Throughout my career spanning K-12, community college, regional institutions, and Research 1 university environments, I've developed expertise in translating educational theory into real-world applications that create meaningful opportunities for students. Through Dunagan Education Solutions, I also serve as a strategic partner to educational leaders and organizations navigating complex challenges. Drawing on my diverse administrative experience in enrollment management, marketing, academic services, and institutional research, I help identify issues, develop solutions, and implement projects that might otherwise remain stalled. Whether you're seeking to enhance youth entrepreneurship education, need assistance with strategic planning, or want to improve your institution's enrollment and marketing approach, I work behind the scenes to help you achieve exceptional results. The education landscape is challenging right now - let's connect to discuss how my experience can help you move your most important initiatives forward.*Connect with me at Marion@DunaganEducationSolutions.com to start a conversation.
