Meet Bruce
Bruce Schultz’s journey from a small farm in Nebraska to a distinguished career in veterinary science and education is marked by a deep commitment to leadership, teaching, and community service.
With over 40 years of experience serving on boards at all educational levels—from preschool to university—Bruce has consistently prioritized education in his life. He has been involved in university outreach and undergraduate teaching since 1982. His 25 years as a professor have seen him directing a biomedical research program while mentoring and teaching undergraduate, graduate and veterinary students. Bruce's dedication extends beyond the classroom, as he has homeschooled high school students, coached, and worked as a substitute teacher at the grade school level. His administrative roles have included serving as an associate and interim department head, college faculty council president, university faculty senate member, course coordinator, and regents academic committee chair.
Bruce and his wife, Kathy, live in Wabaunsee County. They have been blessed with two children and six adorable grandchildren. Through his multifaceted career and community involvement, Bruce continues to impact and inspire the next generation, demonstrating a lifelong dedication to education and leadership.
