Doug Darling, an executive at Lake Region State College in Devils Lake, was named president of the institution Wednesday by the State Board of Higher Education.
The vice president of instructional services since 1998, he became the interim president in May after Mike Bower stepped down. Darling, a UND alumnus, is former director of the Lake Area Vocational Technical Center.
"We are confident that he is the right leader at the right time for the students, faculty and staff of Lake Region -- and that he will continue to be an asset to the community of Devils Lake as well," said board President Duaine Espegard in a news release.
