“During my time at Chamberlain, I’ve had the privilege to encourage
students to embrace a spirit of service and compassion as they care for
the patients of our local and global communities,” Marquez said. “The
continued opportunity to support Chamberlain students in making a
positive impact in the Atlanta area and beyond is a passion of mine as I
nurture student dedication to improving patient care.”
McKinney has transitioned to DeVry Education Group, the parent
organization of Chamberlain College of Nursing, to lead the newly formed
