Mary Deleary, a member of the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, will assume the role of director at IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, effective October 19. Presently, Deleary oversees the university's Research Center for Contemporary Native Arts.

Deleary's work encompasses Anishinaabe leadership practices, Indigenous research methodologies, and archives and collection development. She previously interned at the museum she will now lead, gaining insight into its vital role in supporting Indigenous artists, students, and communities.
