Danilowicz has been at Florida Atlantic University since 2018 and previously served as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Oklahoma State University, dean of the College of Science and Technology at Georgia Southern University, and has also held administrative and faculty positions at University College Dublin in Ireland. While at OSU, Danilowicz conducted research to assess the educational needs of Native American Nations -- which led to the formation of the Center for Sovereign Nations to engage and support students of these underserved communities.
