Northern Kentucky University is welcoming Debra “Debbie” Wulfeck, of Covington, to the NKU Board of Regents.
Appointed by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, Wulfeck’s appointment will run through June 30, 2027.
“I feel so honored to stand alongside Northern Kentucky’s most dedicated leaders as we work toward the continued success of an institution that is so close to my heart, in a region that I am proud to call my home,” said Wulfeck in a press release. “I am looking forward to giving back to our community by building on the university’s strong foundation and ensuring we uphold our student-centered values.”
Wulfeck is replacing Elizabeth Thompson, who stepped down from the board last year.
Wulfeck has lived in Northern Kentucky for 52 years. With three kids at home, she graduated from NKU with a bachelor of science in chemistry and a minor in math in 1994, when she was 41 years old. Wulfeck is a member of the steering committee for the Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky, Co-Chair for the Dragon Fly Foundation Gala, and involved with the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky.
“Debbie is a proven pillar in the Northern Kentucky region, and her dedication to serving our community through multiple non-profits and philanthropic endeavors makes her an outstanding addition to our board,” said NKU President Cady Short-Thompson in the release. “I have no doubt Debbie’s generous insights and commitment to excellence will prove to be invaluable as we move NKU’s mission for student success forward through the ever-evolving educational landscape.”
