In 1967, W. Dan Chapman started working at Florida Technological University, which was later renamed the University of Central Florida. During his time at UCF, he was the Director of Admissions and was a pioneer in helping install a computer-based records system and online registration. He was gifted an award along with several other college admissions staff across Florida sometime in 1978.
