Business Focus Magazine | Nurturing Nursing: Interview with President & CEO, Dr. John Smith-Coppes
Since 1979, Joyce University has been a vibrant learning community, a thriving institution that boasts outstanding students, accomplished alumni, and caring faculty who are each experts in their respective fields.
“As a nearly 50-year-old institution, we’re focused on and committed to raising up a new generation of registered nurses who will make a positive impact on their communities,” says Dr. John Smith-Coppes, President and CEO of Joyce University.
Among nursing universities, Joyce University stands out because of its remarkably people-focused approach.
“We are mission-based and values-led, which means we put a considerable emphasis on our value of excellence,” Smith-Coppes tells us. “As an institution we want people to adopt a mindset that every student that comes to us has the opportunity to become a nurse in the least amount of time, at a reasonable cost, and with a focus on excellence. We focus on three aspects of excellence – student excellence, institutional excellence, and cultural excellence. Our staff and faculty work diligently towards this end, understanding that every student has different needs, healthcare is ever-changing, and our communities need the best out of us and our graduates.”
