SSCC's Associate Degree Nursing program graduates 38
Thirty-eight graduates of Southern State Community College's Associate Degree Nursing program were recognized June 7 during a recent pinning ceremony at the college's Central Campus in Hillsboro.
Graduate Ashley Brannan opened the evening ceremony with a recitation of the nurse's prayer, followed by the welcome and introductions by graduate Cathy Keaton.
"We're proud-and grateful-for the career field you have chosen," said Dr. Ryan McCall, SSCC Vice President of Academic affairs, who welcomed the guests and congratulated the students on their accomplishments in the nursing program.
Dr. Julianne Krebs, director of Southern State's nursing program, introduced the college's nursing faculty and staff. "Join us in the excitement and joy as we celebrate the passage of these graduates into the nursing practice," said Dr. Krebs.
Following the welcome and introductions, the Jacobson Memorial Scholarship Award was presented. In 2000, a scholarship was established to honor JoAnne Jacobson, who taught for the college's nursing program from 1986-96. The Jacobson Memorial Scholarship Award is presented to a nursing student during the ADN pinning by members of the Jacobson family. First-level nursing student Brooke Hayner was awarded this year's scholarship.
