I am Charles Williams, an adjunct professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and a dedicated professional with over 22 years of experience in the federal government. In my current role as Program Manager for Workplace Violence Prevention, I oversee a program that supports over 600 locations worldwide. My responsibilities include tracking, monitoring, and providing guidance to these sites, as well as delivering an annual report to senior leadership. Prior to this, I served in various roles focused on facility security and emergency preparedness, ensuring the safety of federal facilities in collaboration with law enforcement and stakeholders.

In addition to my work in the government, I am deeply committed to philanthropy. I established a scholarship fund in honor of my parents, aimed at supporting Embry-Riddle students studying abroad. The income I earn from teaching is donated back to this and other scholarship funds, as I believe strongly in giving back and creating opportunities for students to pursue global educational experiences.

Teaching at Embry-Riddle since 2017 has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. I take pride in providing detailed, thoughtful feedback to students, fostering academic integrity, and encouraging them to think critically about the subjects they study
