For Elaine N. Marieb, R.N., Ph.D., taking the needs of nursing
and other allied health students into account has always been an
integral part of her teaching style. Dr. Marieb began her teaching
career at Springfield College, where she taught anatomy &
physiology to physical education majors. She then joined the
faculty of the Biological Science Division of Holyoke Community
College in 1969 after receiving her Ph.D. in zoology from the
University of Massachusetts at Amherst. While teaching at Holyoke
Community College, Dr. Marieb pursued her nursing education, which
culminated in a Master of Science degree with a clinical
specialization in gerontology from the University of Massachusetts.
This experience, along with continual feedback from health care
professionals (including generations of former students taught by
Dr. Marieb), has inspired the unique perspective and accessibility
for which this book is known.
Dr. Marieb’s commitment to students extends beyond teaching and
writing. Recognizing the challenges students face, Dr. Marieb
contributes to the New Directions Program at Holyoke Community
College by funding a staffed drop-in center and by providing
several full-tuition scholarships each year for women who are
returning to college after a hiatus or attending college for the
first time. She also funds the E.N. Marieb Science Research Awards
at Mount Holyoke College (which promotes research by undergraduate
science majors) and has underwritten renovation and updating of one
of the biology labs in Mount Holyoke’s Clapp Laboratory.
Recognizing the severe national shortage of nursing faculty, Dr.
Marieb also underwrites the Nursing Scholars of the Future Grant
Program at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. In 1994, Dr.
Marieb received the Benefactor Award from the National Council for
Resource Development, American Association of Community Colleges,
which recognizes her ongoing sponsorship of student scholarships,
faculty teaching awards, and other academic contributions to
Holyoke Community College. In May 2000, the science building at
Holyoke Community College was named in her honor.
Dr. Marieb is an active member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology
Society (HAPS) and the American Association for the Advancement of
Science (AAAS). Additionally, while actively engaged as an author,
Dr. Marieb serves as a consultant for the Pearson Education
Interactive Physiology® CD-ROM series. This text–Essentials of
Human Anatomy & Physiology, Eleventh Edition–is the latest
expression of her commitment to the needs of the students pursuing
the study of A&P.
