The Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Class of 2020 had opted to put their pinning ceremony off in the hopes of holding an in-person event but finally chose to hold it virtually.
“On behalf of the staff, faculty, and admin at the college, we want to congratulate you on this event. The time that has passed does not take away from your accomplishments. You deserve the utmost credit and respect,” Director of Nursing Kimberly Shea stated. “We are so proud of your competence, resilience, and persistence.”
“I wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate each and every one of you on your successes,” noted President James Vander Hooven. “You’ve made the decision to enter a caring field, one where you will save lives, benefit others, and support our communities.”
