Current president Dr. Katherine Walls to retire
after more than 30 years in healthcare
Chamberlain College of Nursing announced the appointment of
Beverly Bonaparte, Ph.D., RN, ANP, FAAN, as president of its
Jacksonville campus, effective immediately. She will oversee
curriculum implementation; delivery of student services; growth and
development of regional clinical partnerships; and management of
day-to-day campus operations. Dr. Bonaparte brings more than 35
years of academic, administrative and clinical experience in
healthcare to the position.
Before joining Chamberlain, Dr. Bonaparte served in academic
leadership roles at Pace University, William Patterson University
and St. George’s University, and as director of master’s degree
programs at New York University. She was also adjunct professor in
the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree program for the Frances Payne
Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University in
Cleveland. Dr. Bonaparte is a member of the American Nurses
Association, the American Academy of Nursing, the National League

“I look forward to fostering relationships with local healthcare
leaders and clinical partners to broaden experiential learning
opportunities for our students so they are positioned for career
success,” said Dr. Bonaparte. “As our healthcare system evolves
toward a more collaborative patient-care model, I will work to
ensure that we are preparing future nurses to work on
interprofessional teams to deliver extraordinary care and improve
health outcomes.”
Dr. Bonaparte succeeds Katherine Walls, Ph.D., MSN, RN, who is
retiring after serving as Jacksonville campus president since 2012.
Before her appointment as president, Dr. Walls had been the
campus’s dean of academic affairs since its opening in July
2009.
“Dr. Walls’ commitment to preparing the next generation of
nurses has made an immeasurable impact in the four years she served
our Jacksonville campus, and we wish her well as she embarks on the
next chapter of her life,” said Susan Groenwald, Ph.D., RN, ANEF,
FAAN, national president of Chamberlain College of Nursing. “Dr.
Bonaparte’s experience serving at decision-making tables within
healthcare gives her a unique perspective and makes her an ideal
candidate to succeed Dr. Walls. We look forward to her leadership
at our Jacksonville campus as she carries on our tradition of
providing students with the education needed to make a positive
impact as extraordinary nurses in today’s healthcare system.”
