His many years as secretary to the board have provided him with an in-depth understanding and appreciation of the myriad of challenges facing The Citadel and higher education. Colonel Harrington’s command and staff experiences, his non-profit independent educational experience, and his Board of Visitors experience provide an excellent background for oversight of college policies, structure, and infrastructure needs and requirements.
