Under Dunn's direction, the Division of Humanities relocated the Mac Lab to the new Humanities building, integrating it with the recording studio to consolidate essential tools for students.

Dunn also serves as Program Director for the Creative Technologies program, described as cutting-edge, equipping students with technology and media skills vital for the modern job market. He noted, 'I have had several students tell me that the technology and media skills they gain in our courses prepare them for today’s job market.'

He teaches ENG 101: Composition I, focusing on expository writing, summaries, analysis, synthesis, argument, critical thinking, research, and a major documented paper assessed by departmental exam.
