in 1992, began her career at the college in 1967, when she was
hired to begin the college’s Nursing program, now one of
its largest. After serving as chair of Nursing, then chair of
Nursing and Allied Health, Dolton became dean of the Division
of Science and Allied Health, overseeing 41 faculty and staff
members. During her tenure she applied for and received several
major grants to facilitate the Nursing program’s growth,
including a federal grant which enabled the college to build its
science building. During her leadership more than 2,000 students
graduated from the Nursing program.
