Dr. Stephanie Oetting

Bio

I have worked at University of Saint Francis since 1989 when I came to help develop the Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing Program. Since that time I have served the University in a variety of roles including faculty, BSN Program Director, Assistant Chairperson in Nursing, Director of Institutional Research, Associate Vice President of Institutional Research and Effectiveness. While each position has been a grand adventure of learning and building experience, I am most passionate about teaching.
