CANTON The lead faculty member in SUNY Canton s most popular program empathizes with adult learners who are holding down jobs while completing their education.
Marela Fiacco, who teaches in the Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management program, earned her Ph.D. in Healthcare Administration from Northcentral University alongside her busy higher education career.
Fiacco also serves on the Norwood-Norfolk Central School Board of Education. Completing my doctorate, working full-time, and being a parent was very challenging, said Fiacco, who lives in Norwood. It was then that I began to fully understand the challenges that my non-traditional students go through.
