About the Author

Elaine N. Marieb
After receiving her Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Elaine N. Marieb began teaching at Holyoke Community College, where many of her students were pursuing nursing degrees. Her students inspired her to gain a better understanding of the relationship between the scientific study of the human body and the clinical aspects of the nursing practice. While continuing to teach full time, Dr. Marieb pursued her nursing education, which culminated in a Master of Science degree with a clinical specialization in gerontology from the University of Massachusetts. It is this experience that has informed the unique perspective and accessibility for which her publications are known.
 
As an individual and through the Elaine Nicpon Marieb Charitable Foundation, Dr. Marieb has given generously to provide opportunities for students to further their education. In recent years, she gave generous philanthropic support to Florida Gulf Coast University as a long-term investment in education, research, and training for healthcare and human services professionals in the local community.  In honor of her contributions, the university is now home to the Elaine Nicpon Marieb College of Health and Human Services.
