University of Saint Francis taps Furman alumnus to serve as interim president

Lance Richey, a 1988 Furman University alumnus, will serve as interim president for the University of Saint Francis (Fort Wayne, Indiana). Richey has run the day-to-day operations of the university since the previous president announced his decision to step down, according to Today’s Catholic.

Richey holds doctorates in philosophy and religious studies from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and has published widely in both disciplines. He also holds a certificate of pre-theological studies from Conception Seminary College in Conception, Missouri, and a bachelor’s in history from Furman.
