Marie Bukowski, dean of the College of Fine Arts, has been appointed as the interim director of the Ulrich Museum of Art to facilitate a smooth transition as the university moves forward in the search process for a new permanent director.
The decision to appoint Bukowski was made in part based on precedent and grounded in Bukowski’s more than a decade of leadership experience in the arts within higher education, as well as her direct museum and gallery experience in both university and public settings. Additionally, Bukowski is integrally involved in the community, the university and with many key stakeholders both on and off campus, and she will continue to maintain and grow these relationships as interim director.
Wichita State thanks Bukowski for her leadership in stepping into this role on an interim basis.
