The University of Wisconsin-Madison Morgridge Center for Public Service named Kathy Cramer interim director, according to a Wednesday university release.
Current director Nancy Mathews will step down after accepting the position of dean at the University of Vermont’s Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, the release said.
Cramer earned her Ph.D from the University of Michigan in 2000 and is an affiliate member of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, the La Follette School of Public Affairs, the Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology and the Wisconsin Center for the Advancement of Postsecondary Education.
Cramer presently serves as a professor for the UW-Madison Department of Political Science, studying the way people in the United States make sense of politics and their role as citizens. School of Education Dean Julie Underwood appointed her to the role.
Cramer will take on the new role June 16, beginning a renewable, one year term.
