Celebrating Graduates of the BSN and Graduate Programs

In two separate events, students and their families were treated to a brief program, a virtual “walk across the stage,” award presentations, and an opportunity to chat in virtual breakout rooms. Associate Director of Undergraduate Programs, Elsie Tan (middle left), presented the BSN awards during the 1 PM event and the Associate Director of Graduate Programs, Alison Phinney, (middle right) presented awards to Graduate students during the 3 PM event. Representing the numerous friends, family and students in attendance are Professor Emerita Wendy Hall (bottom left) and freshly-conferred PhD, Mariko Sakamoto (bottom right) who were enjoying a pandemic-appropriate backyard gathering to celebrate.

Graduating this spring were 111 Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN); 15 Master of Health Leadership & Policy-Clinical Education (MHLPCE); 8 MHLP-Seniors Care (MHLP-SC); 1 Master of Public Health and Master of Science in Nursing (MPH/MSN); 8 MSN; and 4 PhD.

These were the school’s fourth and fifth graduation celebrations to be held online. Although each has been very successful in its own way, we look forward to congratulating our November graduates in person.
