Sheldon Director Janice Driesbach announced March 29 that she is stepping down from the post effective Sept. 20.
Driesbach has served as Sheldon's director since September 2000. She plans to pursue another position in arts or nonprofit management.
During her seven-year tenure, Driesbach forged stronger relationships with the Nebraska Art Association, moving NAA funding for Sheldon from $200,000 per year to a current level of more than $900,000. She has overseen major renovation projects, enhanced student and community involvement in the Sheldon, and has been responsible for bringing in a slate of world-class exhibitions.
