Background

About Carmen Sceppa

I serve as Dean of Bouvé College of Health Sciences at Northeastern University. My vision for Bouvé is to be the leader in driving the transformation of health care and health education. We prepare highly qualified health care professionals, health science researchers and entrepreneurs committed to advancing health and wellbeing across people’s healthspan. I am a Fellow of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) and an active member of the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) and the Network of Minority Research Investigators (NMRI) of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). My experience as a clinician, researcher and educator guides my commitment to science, discovery and education to bridge the gap between research and practice. My program of research – focused on vulnerable populations of older adults and LatinX and Black communities – aims to transform the way we think about healthy lifestyle, from personal choice to preventive medicine. I lead with integrity and a deep commitment to the values of collaboration, individual and collective wellbeing, mentorship, diversity, equity, inclusion and respect.
