STEAMBOAT SPRINGS Jonathan “JC” Norling, who has been the interim leader at Colorado Mountain College Steamboat Springs since September, has been named the permanent vice president and campus dean at the school.
The college pursued a variety of candidates for the role, but the process resulted in Norling “unanimously” standing out among the college’s leaders.
“It wasn’t just a matter of a home-grown guy naturally ascending to that role; they really looked far and wide,” said Bob Kuusinen, who is the Routt County representative on the Colorado Mountain College board of trustees. “It turned out we had the best candidate right in the community.”
