ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Chamberlain College of Nursing today announced the appointment of Beth Marquez, MSN, MBA, RN, as president of its Atlanta campus effective immediately. She succeeds Leila McKinney, DNP, MSN, APRN, NP-C, who had served as president of the Atlanta campus since the campus opened in 2012.

Marquez has more than 15 years of academic and leadership experience in healthcare, including serving as dean of academic operations for the Atlanta campus when it opened in 2012 and as dean of academic affairs since 2013. In her new role, Marquez will oversee curriculum implementation, delivery of student services, growth and development of regional clinical partnerships and management of day-to-day campus operations.

“Beth's diverse background in nursing, academic and enterprise healthcare and her long-standing dedication to Chamberlain students make her our ideal choice to succeed Dr. McKinney as campus president,” said Susan Groenwald, PhD, RN, ANEF, FAAN, national president of Chamberlain College of Nursing. “She exemplifies our dedication to providing students with extraordinary care – Chamberlain Care – through her exceptional leadership abilities, dedication, compassion and laser focus on student success. We're confident she'll bring this level of care and integrity to her new role to help students achieve academic success and their career goals.”

Before joining Chamberlain, Marquez was dean of nursing at Rasmussen College in Green Bay, Wisconsin and, most recently, senior manager of health and productivity at The Home Depot corporate headquarters. Marquez is a member of Sigma Theta Tau International, the American Nurses Association and the Georgia Association of Deans and Directors. She is currently earning her Doctor of Nursing Practice degree at Chamberlain and holds Master of Science in Nursing and Master of Business Administration degrees.

“During my time at Chamberlain, I've had the privilege to encourage students to embrace a spirit of service and compassion as they care for the patients of our local and global communities,” Marquez said. “The continued opportunity to support Chamberlain students in making a positive impact in the Atlanta area and beyond is a passion of mine as I nurture student dedication to improving patient care.”

McKinney has transitioned to DeVry Education Group, the parent organization of Chamberlain College of Nursing, to lead the newly formed Engaged Learning Technologies department. As director of Engaged Learning Technologies, McKinney will combine her interests in technology and higher education to develop innovative active-learning modalities, including educational simulations and gaming, that will benefit all students of DeVry Education Group institutions.
