SANTA CLARITA : College District Hires Administrator
An Orange County educator has been named to the second-highest administrative post in the Santa Clarita Community College District.
P. Carter Doran, vice chancellor of academic affairs at Rancho Santiago College in Santa Ana, will become vice president of instruction and student services of the district Aug. 10. He replaces James Walker, who resigned July 1 after six years to become president of Moorpark College.
Doran also will serve as assistant superintendent of the Santa Clarita district, which operates College of the Canyons. His duties will include overseeing the district’s instructional and student services and supervising the faculty.
Doran was named to the $89,250-a-year post Wednesday by the college district’s board of trustees.
He holds a doctorate in communication from USC and degrees from Yale University, Fuller Theological Seminary and Occidental College, and is immediate past president of California Community College Chief Instructional Officers.
Doran has held his post at Rancho Santiago College since 1986. Before that, he was dean of humanities at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut for nine years.
