New Chair of Nursing
The School of Health and Human Services is proud
to announce that Jeanine Seguin Santelli of
Keuka Park, N.Y. has been hired as chair of the
nursing department.
Santelli was previously a professor of nursing at Keuka
College and the executive director of Genetic Nurses
Credentialing Commission. At Keuka, she also held the
position of assistant vice president for academic programs.
Prior to her positions at Keuka College, she worked as a
nursing coordinator at Camp Whitman on Seneca Lake in
Dresden, N.Y. from 2007 to 2009, and as an acute care evening
supervisor at Thompson Health System in Canandaigua,
N.Y. from 1989 to 1994. Santelli has held several faculty
appointments at institutions such as Keuka College; University
of Rochester; St. John Fisher College; Nazareth College;
Kaplan Educational Centers; Syracuse University; and Finger
Lakes Community College.
Santelli graduated with a bachelor’s in nursing from
Keuka College. She then received a master’s in adult
primary care, medical/surgical nursing and teaching from
Syracuse University. Santelli earned a doctorate in nursing
from Widener University. She is certified as an adult and
gerontologic nurse practitioner.
The School of Education is pleased to announce the
establishment of an advisory board, which seeks to bring together
a small and select group of educational leaders from around the
Rochester region to advise the school on how best to respond
to opportunities and challenges in the rapidly changing educational
environment.
“The school sees this as an important avenue to gain multiple
perspectives on the forces impacting teacher education and schools
districts in our area,” says Timothy Glander, Ph.D., dean of the
School of Education. “For each board member, it will be an opportunity
to connect with a diverse group of educational leaders and to
share their wisdom and insight as the School of Education continues
to improve upon its work in teacher education.”
Since 1924, the School of Education has been seen as a leader
in New York state in preparing teachers for the classroom. With
four distinct academic departments, the school currently enrolls
more than 500 students in initial and professional certification
programs at the graduate level, and nearly 400 students in undergraduate
programs in inclusive childhood and adolescence education.
More than 39% of all current Nazareth College students (graduate
and undergraduate) are enrolled in one program or another leading
to teacher certification.
