New Deans 

Dr. Carole Basile joined UMSL as our new Dean of the College of Education on August 1, 2011.  She came to UMSL from the University of Colorado at Denver where she was Professor of Education and Chair of the Advanced Urban Education Program there.  Since arriving in St. Louis, Dean Basile has already met with COE faculty and staff, alumni, and many school district officials in the metropolitan area.  We are pleased to welcome Carole Basile and encourage students, faculty, and staff at UMSL to get to know her. 

Dr. Sandy Lindquist began serving as Interim Dean of the College of Nursing on October 16, 2011, after the departure of Dr. Julie Sebastian who retired from UMSL after five years as dean.  Dr. Lindquist is a Teaching Professor of Nursing and has been serving as Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies in the UMSL College of Nursing for some time.  She will be the Interim Dean until a new dean is selected and comes to UMSL.  A search for the new dean is underway now.  We expect to have a new dean in place by summer 2012.  As a faculty member, Dr. Lindquist teaches adult health and nursing research.  She earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Murray State University in Kentucky, and master’s and doctoral degrees in nursing from St. Louis University.  She also holds a master’s degree in education from UMSL.  Please join us in welcoming Sandy Lindquist as Interim Dean of Nursing.
