Nursing Pinning Fall 2019
The Fall 2019 Nursing Pinning Ceremony was held on December 4, 2019.
“This evening I had the honor of pinning one of our international students, Emmanuel, during SFCC’s Nursing Pinning Ceremony. This is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful and intimate events that occurs on our campus, celebrating the hard work and dedication of these students. I was both honored and humbled that Emmanuel chose me to be part of this special moment. It was a beautiful reminder of why I do what I do ❤️” – Danielle Gonzales, Interim TRiO Director
