Office of the President
Beginning his service to the college in July 2023, Dr. Colin Irvine previously served as the provost and executive vice president at Augustana University in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
A recipient of three Fulbright awards, Irvine received a doctorate in English from Marquette University, a master's degree in American studies from the University of Notre Dame, and a bachelor's degree in English from Carroll College in Helena, Montana.
Chiefly, Dr. Irvine seeks to pinpoint precisely where Concordia's mission meets the market, preparing students for fulfilling careers in fields where the world needs them most.
I have always been a teacher who cares intensely about learners of all backgrounds and believes that, at its core, education represents the opportunity and obligation to passionately pursue one’s vocation in service to the self and others.”
— Dr. Colin Irvine
