Though the weather may have been gloomy outside, inside the National Mississippi River Museum was bright as they announced the new President and CEO of the Dubuque County Historical Society and all of its properties. Outgoing President and CEO, Kurt Strand announced Dr. Jeffrey Bullock as the next President. Bullock speaking during a press conference on Thursday:
Bullock’s name may sound familiar because he served as the 11th president of the University of Dubuque from 1998 until 2024, becoming the longest-serving president in the institution’s history, including during their announcement of the new school of osteopathic medicine. Bullock will join the Dubuque County Historical Society Jan. 4, 2027 overlapping time with Strand who will continue in his role through January to assist with the leadership handoff and ensure organizational continuity.
