DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — Wallace Community College–Dothan has announced the appointment of Dr. Wendy DuBose as the college’s new dean of Health Sciences.
DuBose is a WCCD alumna and brings years of experience in nursing education, leadership and program development. College officials say her background and ties to the Wiregrass make her a strong fit for the role.
DuBose earned her Doctor of Education from the University of Alabama in 2017. She also holds a master’s degree in nursing from Auburn University at Montgomery, a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Auburn University at Montgomery, and an associate degree in nursing from WCCD. She is a licensed registered nurse and holds multiple professional and instructional certifications.
Since 2022, DuBose has served as assistant clinical professor and program coordinator at Auburn University at Montgomery’s School of Nursing. During that time, she helped lead curriculum development, supported faculty and focused on student success.
WCCD President Dr. Kathy L. Murphy said DuBose’s leadership will play a key role as the college continues to expand health care training opportunities in the region.
“As we continue establishing and advancing health pathways that prepare highly skilled, compassionate healthcare professionals for our region, Dr. DuBose’s leadership will be invaluable,” Murphy said.
DuBose said returning to WCCD as a member of the leadership team is especially meaningful.
