Responsibilities include curriculum oversight—such as program and course development, curriculum mapping, and updates—along with the oversight of adjunct faculty and clinical sites.

This includes oversight of course delivery, scheduling, lab and simulation coordination, clinical site management, and ongoing evaluation of program quality and student support services.

In partnership with the Dean, the Director addresses faculty, staff, and student concerns while fostering a collaborative, respectful, and student-centered departmental culture. The Director also assists with budget planning and fiscal oversight, including grant development and management, and may serve as the project director for nursing program grants.
