Iowa Lakes Community College has a new Dean of the Spirit Lake Campus. Darin Moeller, who is currently serving as Registrar, will begin his Spirit Lake duties Dec. 1.

According to Dr. Mike Hupfer, President at Iowa Lakes, “I think in his term as Registrar, Darin has demonstrated his problem solving skills and his interest in our students which will serve him well as the third dean of our Spirit Lake Campus.”

Moeller received his first two years of college education at Iowa Lakes. He then transferred to the University of Northern Iowa where he earned his degree in business administration.
