Wendy Waugh has been selected to serve as interim president of Peru State College in Nebraska. She will assume her new duties on December 2.

According to the Department of Education’s most recent data, Peru State College enrolls about 1,800 students, 59 percent of whom are women.

Dr. Waugh’s background in higher education spans more than three decades. She has been serving as Peru State College’s vice president of academic affairs. Earlier in her career, she was dean of graduate and adult programs at Nebraska Wesleyan University.

“Dr. Waugh’s extensive experience at the Nebraska State Colleges combined with her deep understanding of Nebraska’s educational landscape and strategic partnerships make her exceptionally well-suited to lead Peru State College through this transition period,” said Paul Turman, chancellor of the Nebraska State College System. “Her insight into both the college and broader Nebraska community will ensure continuity and steady progress as we work toward a permanent presidential appointment.”

Dr. Waugh is a graduate of Wayne State College in Nebraska, where she majored in management and electronic data processing. She holds a master’s degree in education from the University of Nebraska-Kearney, an MBA from Chadron State College in Nebraska, and a Ph.D. in organization and management from Capella University.
