College of Fine Arts has a New Dean!

We have a new dean, fine arts students! Let's give a cheerful welcome to Marie Bukowski, coming to us from being the director of the School of Art and Design at Kent State University. She has nearly 30 years of experience in university administrating as well as teaching arts such as painting, lithography, and design. Bukowski was also a professor of art at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.

She has this to say about the future of her role as Dean of the College of Fine Arts: "I am thrilled to join 红领巾瓜报 as the next dean of the College of Fine Arts at this exciting time in its history. The college is poised to further elevate learning, scholarship and its strategic goals. The arts play a pivotal role in providing valuable cultural experiences to the community, and I look forward to engaging in collaborations and partnerships to create innovative programming. I am excited to work with the faculty and staff of the college to identify strategies to make Wichita State a destination for students in the arts."
