City of Glasgow College officially appoints Depute Principal

City of Glasgow College has officially appointed Alex Craig as Depute Principal.

The former Vice Principal for Learning and Teaching will assume immediate responsibility for the new role, which is second only to Principal.

Alex has been in Further Education for almost two decades and has held a variety of roles across the UK including working as a performing arts lecturer.

Speaking following his appointment, the 52 year old, from Glasgow, said: “I’m delighted to take on such a significant role at City of Glasgow College. I’ve been here since the successful merger two years ago and watched as the college has grown. As we enter 2013 I look forward to helping to deliver world class further and higher education in the heart of this world class city and continuing to drive for excellence. The sector is facing some difficult challenges ahead but I’m confident that the right team is in place at City of Glasgow College that will create a college that not only Glasgow but all of Scotland can be proud of.”

City of Glasgow College was created in 2010 following the merger of three leading colleges in the city. With more than 32,000 students from 135 different nationalities, it’s one of Europe’s largest further education establishments.

Paul Little, Principal of City of Glasgow College, commented: “The appointment of Alex as Depute Principal is yet another milestone in the successful journey of City of Glasgow College. We’ve achieved a great deal in a short time and are looking forward with excitement and energy. With such a broad student base, we are truly becoming a world leader in education and I’m confident that Alex will play a key role in taking the college towards even greater achievement.”
