The “Big Bang” may have started the universe but it’s likely that smaller bangs played a key role in life on Earth, say Albion College physics professor Nicolle Zellner and chemistry professor Vanessa McCaffrey.

Tim DeWitt, who has held several positions in the Division of Finance and Administration in his 12 years at Albion College, has been named the College’s interim chief financial officer, replacing Dee McCormick, who retired last month.

Longtime trustee William K. “Bill” Stoffer, ’74, passed away December 2 in Albion. Said friend Linda Kolmodin, “In his heart, he loved Albion College and the community and saw them as intertwined for both to be the best they could be.”

Steve Klein, Albion College’s former vice president for enrollment management, died November 29 after a long illness. When Klein’s longtime friend Mauri Ditzler accepted the presidency of Albion College in 2014, one of his major priorities was to bolster admissions. And Ditzler knew just the person to help him accomplish that goal. “I turned to the best admissions counselor I had ever met,” he said.

With nearly 20 years of experience working with students in a higher education setting, Detroit native Leroy Wright has been named Albion College’s new vice president for student development and dean of students. Wright, who has been associate vice chancellor for student affairs at Appalachian State University in North Carolina since 2016, will begin his duties at Albion on July 1.
