Skagit Valley College chose Laura Cailloux as vice-president of its Whidbey Island campus in Oak Harbor, as well as the San Juan Center in Friday Harbor and the Marine Technology Center in Anacortes, it told the press earlier this month. She began her position July 1. During her tenure at the college, she has served as a faculty member and administrator, progressing from business-management faculty to department chair for five years, then director of business and community development for four years, and most recently dean of workforce education for eight years. Cailloux succeeds Mick Donahue, who returned to the classroom to teach psychology on the Whidbey Island campus.
