Carol L. Bosco has been named the Dean of the
School of Health Sciences at Hudson Valley Community College.
Bosco
has served as the department chairperson of the Nursing Department at Hudson
Valley since 2007 and was an adjunct faculty member at the college since 2002.
She was previously on the faculty of Russell Sage College, Maria College and
Excelsior College, and worked as nursing operations manager for Saint Peter's
Hospital. She also worked in Albany Medical Center, Saint Clare's Hospital in
Denville, N.J. and McLaren Hospital in Flint, Mich.
Bosco
has previously served as a member of the Council of Associate Degree Nursing in
New York State (CADN) and as a board member, treasurer and vice president of
the District 9 Nurses Association. Currently, she serves as an Accreditation
Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) peer evaluator and is a member of
the ACEN evaluation review panel.
During
her eight years as the Nursing Department chair at Hudson Valley, Bosco
instituted essential academic skills testing for potential nursing students,
started a summer boot camp to prepare students in the program for upcoming
study in the fall, and increased the program’s retention rate to nearly 90
percent. Her outreach efforts have resulted in programs coordinated with local
high schools and the community at large, and she has been instrumental in the
addition of new degree and certificate programs within the School of Health
Sciences, a trend she plans to continue in her role as dean.
“Congratulations
to Carol Bosco on her new role as Dean of the School of Health Sciences. Carol
has already made so many wonderful contributions to the college community
through her work in the department, and we are excited to welcome her into this
new position. We’re confident that she will continue to demonstrate her
dedication and commitment to the college and her field, and we look forward to
the continued success of the Health Sciences programs under her leadership,”
said Drew Matonak, president of Hudson Valley Community College.
Bosco
received her associate degree in nursing from Mott Community College in Flint,
Michigan. She received both a bachelor's and master's degrees in nursing from
Russell Sage College, and a Ph.D. in nursing from the University of Arizona in
2007. She resides in Wynantskill with her husband, Samuel, and their pets.
Bosco is a strong animal advocate; she currently sits on the Mohawk and Hudson
River Humane Society's advisory board and supports “Out of the Pits,” as well
as other animal rescue organizations.
