Chandler Gilbert Community College Nursing Pinning Ceremony
The event celebrated the graduation of the 36th nursing cohort and marked the 20th anniversary of the Chandler Gilbert Community College nursing program, which has graduated 1100 nurse candidates in total. The ceremony included recognition of graduates' significant investment in structured learning (classroom, lab, clinical/simulation hours) and independent study. Key acknowledgments were made to faculty, clinical partners, administration, and staff, including a senior administrative assistant who prepared many pinning ceremonies. The event also recognized supporting entities such as the Vice Mayor of Gandler, military service members, veterans, and currently practicing nurses. Specific segments included inducting outstanding students into the Alpha Delta Nu Honor Society, recognizing members of the Student Nurses in Action (SNI) club for their community service projects (including fundraising for pins and toy drives), honoring student mentors, and presenting the peer-voted Florence Nightingale Award to Kinsey Bossy Luke.
