Albion Welcome
A British Eighth fanfare set the tone for Albion's enthusiastic welcome of Mauri Ditzler, who will become the College's 16th president in July 2014. The current president of Monmouth College, Ditzler was a faculty member and department chair at the College of Holy Cross, and has held executive administration positions with his alma mater Wabash College and at Millikin University.
"When someone asks me what makes Albion distinct, I will give them an answer that I believe in, and that you believe in," Ditzler said. "Together we're going to find those answers and uncover those paths, and build that distinction."
