Greetings!
I am the Dean of Graduate Studies at Granite State College. Prior to GSC I served as the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Affairs at Northeastern University’s College of Professional Studies (CPS). At CPS I was responsible for academic and faculty affairs across the myriad of undergraduate degree and certificate programs. During my tenure at CPS I created several graduate degrees, undergraduate fast-track programs, minors and degree-completion curricula. I assisted in the development and execution of Foundation Year (innovative first-year college), and curricula for international partnerships in China, Brazil, and Singapore. I served as the Director of the undergraduate and graduate Respiratory Care Programs.
In the field of Respiratory Care I served on various local and national respiratory care committees, conducted research, consulted on scholarly works, and served as leader in the development of graduate respiratory care education. I was inducted into the Fellowship of the American Association for Respiratory Care for my work in graduate respiratory care education.
I received my EdD in Mathematics and Science Education from the University of Massachusetts Lowell, a MS in Clinical Exercise Physiology from Northeastern University, and a BS in Allied Medical Professions with a major in Respiratory Therapy from The Ohio State University. My research interests are in web based instructional strategies in post secondary sciences.

The First Graduate Studies Reception on May 3, 2012 was a success! Graduate students, faculty and staff increased their network five-fold. The Project Management Masters Program was well represented. The event started with a Welcome from President Leach, Dean of Academic Affairs Sheila Taylor-King, and Program Director- Michelle Capozzolli. The evening was MC’d by Dean of Graduate Studies Scott Stanley. Participants engaged in a speed interviewing exercise which involved interviewing five attendees they did not know prior to the event. This activity was followed by introductions to the group. There were several laughs by all participants throughout the night. The event was deemed a networking success by individuals engaging in conversation at the end of the night with their new colleagues.
Granite State College’s Graduate Studies Network just got a little bit bigger.
It is an exciting time at Granite State College! The Office of Graduate Studies will launch in July the new Master of Science in Leadership. The Leadership Master’s Program is designed to develop student’s strategic leadership skills while guided by their ethical principles. The MIT Leadership Institute defines 4 capabilities Leadership Framework. The components are sense-making, relating, visioning, and inventing.[1] In this new graduate program the curriculum embodies these components. Students will focus on making sense of their capacity to function as a leader in today’s environment, relate organizational relationships to facilitate organizational effectiveness, conducting visionary exercises to facilitate organizational growth and opportunity, and invent new ways to respond to changes in the environment of the organization and actualizing the organizational vision. This framework makes for a sound leadership education. The ten course program provides students with practical and theoretical foundations to develop a personalized leadership construct. The Master of Science in Leadership is one of Granite State College’s Online Graduate Degrees. Get more information on the new graduate program being offered at Granite State College at http://www.granite.edu/academics/degrees/masters/leadership.php.

Since arriving in New Hampshire in June 2011 to serve as the Dean for Graduate Studies at Granite State College, graduate education has emerged from an initiative to a norm. The Master of Science in Project Management was launched in September 2011. We had a great response to this launch evident by the number of students enrolling in the program. Students have commented on the applicability of what they are learning in their courses to their jobs. I have heard from students that they are able to make an instant impact at their employer by applying the principles they learn in class to their work the next day. Kudos to our GSC instructors. The Project Management Program at Granite State is deeply aligned with the Project Management Institute's Body of Knowledge. The Project Management Body of Knowledge can be found in the PMBOK Guide. These knowledge areas are considered the standards for project management.
If you have an interest in trying out Project Management college courses or "testing the waters" before you formally apply, visit our website to find out more information.
