Minneapolis (PRWeb) January 18, 2007 -- Dr. Janet (Shelli) Lampi, a PhD graduate of Capella University (www.capella.edu), an accredited, fully online university based in Minneapolis, has been named dean of educational services over nursing and physical therapy assistants for Anoka-Ramsey Community College in Coon Rapids, Minn. She began in the position on Nov. 15, 2006.
In her new position, Lampi will be responsible for providing leadership, supervision, and guidance to the nursing programs at the college's Coon Rapids and Cambridge campuses, as well the Physical Therapy Assistants program. She is also charged with developing a vision for the future of healthcare programs at the college.

My education at Capella proved to be a solid, broad, credible education, and it is serving me very well."
