Irvine : Dean Becomes Acting President of College
Dale Larson, dean of instruction at Irvine Valley College, has been named the college’s acting president, succeeding Ed Hart.
Hart recently announced his intention to retire, effective Nov. 1, and Larson is phasing in as acting president, said Saddleback Community College District spokeswoman Donna Hatchett.
Larson, 46, has been with the college district since 1969. He became director of instructional services at Irvine Valley College in 1979, and in 1982 the title was changed to dean.
Before teaching in the Saddleback District, Larson taught English and literature at Hamburg University in Germany and at Menlo College in Northern California. He and his wife, Dorothy, and two daughters live in Irvine.
