David Harrington has joined Front Range Community College as a dean of instruction at the Boulder County Campus.
Harrington will oversee academic faculty and programs in science, mathematics, and the career/technical programs of business, information technology, health, and nursing.
“Dr. Harrington impressed a broad swath of the campus community with his calm demeanor, his thoughtful responses to questions he was asked, and the insightful questions he asked of us,” said Linda Curran, campus vice president. “It was evident that he’s a good listener, and also that he has substantial experience as dean and chief academic officer in multiple areas that are very relevant to the Boulder County Campus and FRCC.”
