MONMOUTH, Ill. — At its annual meeting in Savannah, Ga., earlier this month, the Association of Presbyterian College and Universities (APCU) elected Monmouth College president Mauri A. Ditzler to a three-year term on its board of directors.

APCU is a voluntary association of 62 member colleges and universities that have a historic relationship with the Presbyterian Church (USA). The association exists to promote its schools and to assist the presidents and their staffs in strengthening their institutions.

Ditzler, who has served as Monmouth College’s 13th president since 2005, is a 1975 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Wabash College and earned his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Duke University in 1979. He was a member of the faculty at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., for 15 years before serving as the chief academic officer at Millikin University from 1994 to 1999 and at Wabash from 1999 to 2005.
