Dean Craig Pelton is a character in the sitcom Community. Pelton is the Dean of Greendale Community College. He is a graduate of Appatomax University and holds a Bachelors of Educations degree. Pelton has worked in Scholastics for over 10 years although his résumé could be seen as a poor reflection of this since all his previous places of employment have since shut down. At Greendale he is a well meaning but bumbling administrator who is just barely able to run the school.
