Barone Named Dean of Nursing
Claudia Barone, EdD, RN, has been named dean of the College of Nursing at UAMS to replace Dean Linda Hodges, EdD, who will retire in October. Barone, of Little Rock, associate dean for academic administration in the College of Nursing, was selected following a national search. She will take over for Hodges on Oct. 16. Hodges, after 17 years at the helm, will remain in a faculty position through the end of December to allow a smooth transition. Barone came to UAMS in 1988 and has been an associate dean for four years. She received her bachelor's degree in nursing from Russell Sage College in Troy, N.Y., her master's in nursing from the University of Virginia and doctorate in education from the UALR.
