Pinning Ceremonies

In addition to commencement, many academic programs, such as Nursing, Dental Hygiene, Aviation Flight, Park Ranger Law Enforcement Academy, and Cosmetology, host pinning ceremonies. These events recognize outstanding student achievement within specific disciplines and often include the presentation of program awards. Pinning ceremonies typically occur at the end of the semester or during the week leading up to commencement.
