Curtis J. Kowaleski became the CFO, Vice President of Finance and Treasurer of Gustavus in 2019. After spending the early part of his career in the for-profit sector, Curt has now spent almost half of his career in higher education where he continues to chase his passion for helping students. Dedicated to helping young people, Curt has coached youth sports and through higher education he has been able to use his accounting and finance background to help Gustavus students. When he is not leading the operational and financial side of the college, you will probably see Curt at a sporting event, a theater production or participating in one of the many international events held on campus, so you might as well “Jump”. 

Fostering a community where students can dance, learn, and grow in their artistry together. We strive to make dance an enjoyable, educational, and accessible experience for everyone regardless of previous dance experience.
