Margaret (Maggie) L. Longacre is the Dean of the College of Health Sciences (CHS) and Professor of Public Health. Maggie previously served as Chair of the Public Health Department and as Associate Dean in CHS as well as MPH Director and the CHS Assistant Dean of Research. She is also an alumna of the HERS Leadership Institute.

Over her career at Arcadia, Maggie taught various graduate and undergraduate courses - predominantly healthcare systems and public health policy, research methods, and MPH Capstone research. Her scholarship has revolved around health policy and family caregiving, including previously securing funding from the American Cancer Society to develop and test the feasibility of a patient-caregiver portal system to enhance patient- and family-centered care in palliative oncology. This research was conducted with colleagues at Fox Chase Cancer Center. Her scholarship has also involved contributing to several national reports on caregiving with the National Alliance for Caregiving, including a current project on caregiving for persons with Parkinson's disease. Additional scholarly work included a collaboration with Arcadia colleagues in Human Resources to conduct a panel for the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship on caregiving and career support, which resulted in a checklist for employees and employers.

Work prior to Arcadia included roles of Director of Research at the Cancer Support Community (CSC) National Headquarters, which involved collaborations with academia and nonprofit organizations, and being a postdoctoral fellow and senior project manager at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Cancer Prevention and Control.
