From the President
Posted: Friday, April 5, 2019Appointment: Executive Director of the Burchfield Penney Art Center
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Dennis Kois as the next executive director of the Burchfield Penney Art Center at Buffalo State. Mr. Kois comes to the Burchfield Penney from the Milwaukee Public Museum, where he served as president and CEO for four years.
Mr. Kois, who will begin his duties at the Burchfield Penney on April 22, brings with him an exceptional record of visionary and transformational leadership, fundraising, and community engagement. Before joining the Milwaukee Public Museum, he served as executive director of the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Boston and of the Grace Museum in Abilene, Texas. His extensive experience will serve the Burchfield Penney well as it continues to support Buffalo State’s mission as SUNY’s urban-engaged campus.
I would like to thank interim co-directors Carolyn Morris-Hunt and Scott Propeack for their dedicated service during the leadership transition.
More information about Mr. Kois and his appointment can be found on the Burchfield Penney website. Please join me in welcoming him to Buffalo State!
