The Ferguson Center for Technology-Aided Teaching/Learning at Albion College is named for its founder and benefactor, William C. Ferguson, former CEO of NYNEX. Mr. Ferguson graduated from Albion College in 1952 with a degree in mathematics education. His career took him into the field of technology, specifically communications. The purpose of the Ferguson Center is to bridge the gap of using technology in the K-12 classroom within the context of the education of teachers. Technology abounds, however, the intent of the Ferguson Center is to integrate technology and curriculum for the benefit of student learning and teacher modeling.  Mr. Ferguson is currently a member of the Board of Trustees of Albion College, and served as president of the College in an interim capacity during the 1995-96 academic year.

Reuben Rubio was the first Director of the Ferguson Center, from 1996-2001. Under him, the Center took on a mission of promoting the effective use of technology in the service of teaching and learning. Reuben taught and co-taught classes in the Education Department, and worked in diverse ways with Albion College faculty and staff, schools and members of the Albion community, and academic groups such as the Great Lakes Colleges Association to "make educational technology happen."

Michael Meloth is currently the Director of the Ferguson Center.  During this school year, Michael has worked with Albion College teacher candidates in creating projects archiving the pursuits of the teachers and elementary-level area students at the Albion College Summer Science Camp.  Michael has also worked with teacher candidates on their individual digital portfolios, and with students in Education courses creating content specific webpages.  Michael is presently teaching courses in the Education Department and is a member of COATT, MACUL, AACE, and SITE, organizations that focus on the meaningful use of technology in schools.  After receiving his Ph.D. from Michigan State University in 1989, Michael was a professor in the School of Education at the University of Colorado, Boulder.  He came to Albion College in the fall of 2001.
