Viterbo University was able to snag a new nursing dean from just up the river.

Martha Scheckel, chair of the nursing department at Winona State University, has been appointed Viterbo's new dean of the College of Nursing, Health and Human Behavior. She will begin July 1.

Scheckel began her teaching career as an adjunct in Viterbos bachelor's nursing completion program and became an assistant professor in 2005. She has been involved with nursing education for more than 13 years, including experience leading undergraduate nursing programs at WSU and Michigan State University and her scholarship has focused on trends and issues in nursing education.

I am elated about joining the Viterbo University community and being part of such a respected university with a strong and steadfast mission and core values, Scheckel said. I am especially excited about collaborating with its members at a time when the nursing, health, and human behavior fields are in need of highly qualified individuals to serve societys complex and dynamic health and human service needs."
