Wyoming Community College Commission CTO brings cross-system experience to Colorado’s largest community college.
From registering for classes to logging into online courses, nearly every part of a student’s experience at Front Range Community College now runs on technology. Paris Edeburn, who has led statewide data system implementations for the Wyoming Community College Commission, will join FRCC as its first Associate Vice President of Information Technology.
“This elevated position is mission critical,” said FRCC President Colleen Simpson, EdD. “Technology shapes nearly every interaction our students and employees have with FRCC, from the classroom to the help desk. Getting it right requires systems that are secure, reliable and built around the people who use them.”
“Paris has spent her career making technology work across an entire system of community colleges, not just individual campuses,” Simpson added. “That perspective is exactly what we need as we strengthen our partnership with the Colorado Community College System’s IT office and plan for what our students will need next.”
