Bio - Doug Cremer
I am currently the Executive Director of the California Community Colleges’ (CCC) Technology Center and California Virtual Campus. This past year, my program teams managed nine major technology and curriculum development program grants totaling over $20M. The current CCC System-wide (112 colleges) programs and project under my overall cognizance include - electronic student portfolio pilot (ePortfolio California: www.eportfolioca.org), common Web-based student college application; eTranscript CA; CCC Service-Oriented Architecture Project; and the CCC Digital Textbooks project.

Prior to this assignment, I served as the Director, Information Systems and Institutional Research for Butte College for three years, where I led a highly successful Datatel Colleague Student Information System implementation (completed in 15 months (six months ahead of schedule and 20% under budget)).

Before coming to Butte College, I worked in Philadelphia as Director, Information Technology, Merger and Acquisitions for PECO Energy Company. In that role, I was responsible for integrating information systems for a number of corporate acquisitions and for an eventual merger between PECO Energy Company and Commonwealth Edison to form Exelon Corporation.

My prior experience includes serving in an NRC Senior-Reactor-Operator-licensed position as Shift Operations Manager at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station and various leadership roles in the U.S. Navy’s Submarine Service, including Commanding Officer of USS BATON ROUGE - a Los-Angeles class, nuclear fast attack submarine, Executive Officer of USS OHIO (GOLD), and Member of the Atlantic Fleet Nuclear Propulsion Examining Board.

I am a current Ph.D candidate at University of California, Santa Barbara (Education, and emphasis in Teaching and Learning) and am a graduate of University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School Executive Development Program.
