New Dean Hails From Minnesota

Gloria J. Vogt, a college administrator from Minnesota, has been appointed dean of the business division at Orange Coast College.

As dean, Vogt will oversee eight different programs that offer 300 classes and enroll more than 5,000 students each semester, college officials said.

Before coming to Orange County, Vogt held a variety of posts at junior colleges in Minnesota. Most recently, she was director of special projects at North Hennepin Community College in Brooklyn Park, Minn.

Vogt said she plans to become actively involved with local companies. “I want to promote OCC in the Orange County business community,” she said. “I want to show them that we can, inexpensively and effectively, offer their employees valuable training that can make a difference in the bottom line.”
