MILWAUKEE (WKBT) — The UW System Regents have a new president and vice president.
On Friday, the UW System Board of Regents elected Regent Karen Walsh and Regent Amy Blumenfeld Bogost to the positions of president and vice president, respectively. They will serve a one year term.
Walsh succeeds Edmund Manydeeds III, who’s served as president since June of 2021.
