About

Our History

The Jean School of Nursing and Health Sciences at Saint Anselm College was formally established on July 1, 2023 and moved into its permanent home – a new $35 million state-of-the-art nursing facility named Grappone Hall – in the fall of 2025.

Led by Dr. Elizabeth Landers, dean of the Jean School of Nursing and Health Sciences, the school houses the undergraduate nursing program, the Continuing Nursing Education program, and the college's dynamic new programs in health sciences and community and public health.

As a school, we aim to provide all nursing and health sciences students with diverse interprofessional, community-based experiences to prepare them to improve the health and well-being of patients and communities, and address our most pressing healthcare and societal challenges.

— Dean Diane Uzarski
