Ann Cary, director of the school of nursing, has decided to step down from her position by the end of the year. During her five years as director, Cary has helped promote the growth of the nursing school and the amount of programs offered. According to Luis Miron, dean of the college of social sciences, Cary made it a priority to establish the first doctorate in nursing practice in the state and the first doctoral degree at Loyola, excluding Juris Doctor. Under the leadership of Cary, Loyola’s online nursing school has consistently ranked among some of the top nursing programs in the country. This year the online program ranked 6th out of 471 other online nursing schools in the U.S, according to the U.S. News and World Report.
