We're welcoming Dr. Pamela Slaven-Lee, the next president of Mercy's Southeast Missouri Hospital College of Nursing and Health Sciences in Cape Girardeau. 👏
Dr. Slaven-Lee comes to Mercy from C3 Cares, a nurse-led community healthcare organization helping underserved communities in Washington, D.C., where she was chief operating officer. She also recently served as provost and vice president for academic affairs at Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia, where she oversaw all academic programs, research, faculty and student academic support services across multiple campuses and research centers.
“Pamela is widely recognized for building and growing strong academic programs including well-regarded online offerings,” said Stephanie Clements, Mercy’s senior vice president and chief nurse executive. “She is exactly the right choice not only to grow our college locally in Southeast Missouri but across our Mercy communities throughout Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma. We are confident her vast experience with boosting enrollment, supporting faculty and aligning budgets will propel our college to the next level.”
Dr. Slaven-Lee succeeds Dr. Steven Langdon, a 40-year veteran of higher education who recently retired after serving as president of the college for seven years.
