MSN Nursing Program Lead at Harrisburg University – Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

FT Faculty MSN Nursing Program Lead

Harrisburg University of Science and Technology (HU) is a world-class STEM university that dares to imagine a new type of education that pushes where the world is going next, even when the world pushes back. We’re not shackled by tradition or a time-tested rule book. Instead, we built our anchor point around a dedication to curiosity, creativity, and a relentless focus on imagining what a future-proof education can and should look like. This is an audacious mindset. And it's one that we commit to wholeheartedly with each new endeavor we introduce. Simply put, we do things differently here. We invest in what matters. We pivot and evolve when we need to. Because we aren’t an institution. We’re an engine.
