Dr. Janet Wessel Krejci, RN, NEA-BC, dean of the College of Nursing, will retire on Dec. 31, 2021, after five years in the role.
Krejci has been instrumental in guiding the College of Nursing’s strategic direction, positioning it as a leader in meeting the health care industry’s fast-growing workforce needs.
“Janet is a strategic and operational leader who always puts Marquette’s mission first, dedicating herself to cura personalis,” President Michael R. Lovell said. “She has an innovative spirit and a relentless work ethic when it comes to leading the college’s faculty and staff, and Marquette has benefitted greatly from her vision. She also has taken great pride in advocating for her students. Janet is a role model who cares deeply for the development of all Marquette Nurses.”
Krejci joined Marquette after serving as vice president for academic affairs and provost at Illinois State University. Prior to her role as provost, Krejci was dean and professor of nursing at Illinois State’s Mennonite College of Nursing from 2009–14. Previously, she spent 21 years at Marquette in roles ranging from research assistant to associate dean.
In honor of her retirement, please consider making a gift to the Janet Wessel Krejci Scholarship Fund, established by donors and friends of the college to honor Janet’s vision and leadership. This scholarship will support students from diverse backgrounds who are enrolled in the College of Nursing.
