Ferguson to head ACT in Iowa City leadership change
Richard Ferguson will become president of The American College for Educational Services in Iowa City on September 1, succeeding Olaf Davidson. At 47, he has served as executive vice president for five years and says major program changes are unlikely as ACT pursues expansion into new student services and a planned new building at its headquarters. Davidson praised Ferguson as a tireless worker, noting a nationwide search led to the appointment. Ferguson, a University of Pittsburgh PhD, joined ACT in 1973 after teaching in Pittsburgh.
