Madeline Musante Wake, Ph.D., R.N., is the provost of Marquette University. Reporting to the president, the provost is responsible for academic affairs and institutional planning.
The provost provides intellectual vision and strong leadership for the 10 academic deans and the dean of libraries.
Prior to her current role, Wake was dean (for nine years) and faculty member in nursing management at Marquette since 1977. She has held administrative positions as assistant director of the university division of continuing education, hospital nurse administrator and chair of a hospital board of directors.
Wake has spoken nationally for the American Organization of Nurse Executives, the American Nurses Association, the American Association of Critical-care Nurses and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, and internationally on various topics in nursing management and education.
She chaired the task force for the Second International Conference on Intensive Care Nursing held in The Hague, the Netherlands, in 1986.
She has consulted on continuing education, effective nursing departments, financial management in nursing education and strategic planning. Active in professional associations, she was president of the American Diabetes Association — Wisconsin Affiliate, chaired the program committee for the 1983 AACN National Teaching Institute and was a member of the American Nurses Association 1992 Convention Education Program Committee.

The theme of Wake's work is innovation — pushing out the boundaries of nursing and higher education. Her publications include research on effective instruction in continuing education and her 1989 and 1992 studies of nursing care delivery systems in U.S. hospitals.
She studied multinational perspectives on nursing diagnoses with colleagues in Belgium, Canada, Columbia, England, France and the United States. From 1992 to 1999, she was a member of the eight-person core team developing the International Classification for Nursing Practice with the International Council of Nurses based in Geneva.
She was selected as a distinguished lecturer for 1990-91 for Sigma Theta Tau International (the nursing honor society), was admitted as a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing in 1994, and was awarded the Sacagawea Award for community leadership in 2000.
In 2001, she and three other Wisconsin nurse leaders founded the Wisconsin Nursing Redesign Consortium, a collaborative effort of health care and educational institutions focused on role and system redesign of the nursing work force.
Wake received her diploma from St. Francis Hospital School of Nursing in Hartford, Conn.; her B.S.N. and M.S.N. from Marquette University; and, Ph.D. with a major in urban education and a minor in nursing from the University of Wisconsin — Milwaukee.
