Lake Region State College President Doug Darling has announced his retirement effective June 30, 2025.
“This was not an easy decision for me. I love everything about Lake Region State College, especially its faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends. All of us do great work together,” Darling said. “I couldn’t have dreamed 36 years ago that I would have the honor of leading such a great team at a wonderful institution that continues to change students’ lives every day.”
Darling held many roles at LRSC the past 36 years including Marketing Faculty, Marketing and Public Relations, Continuing Education Director, Dean of Instruction, Vice President of Academic Affairs and President.
He served as interim president in 2012 before being hired as president in 2013.
A search will be undertaken by the SBHE.
