School of Nursing Pinning Ceremony 2009
As the Dean of the School of Nursing, I invite the this year's bachelor of science in nursing graduates, family and friends to attend the University of Portland School of Nursing pinning ceremony on Saturday, May 2, 2009, 9:00am in the Earle A. and Virginia H. Chiles Center. This pinning event has special significance because it will mark the beginning of the 75 year anniversary of the University of Portland School of Nursing.
The pinning ceremony is designed to celebrate the accomplishment of completing the baccalaureate program and the transition into professional practice. Family and friends, School of Nursing faculty and staff, clinical partners and other university members join together to honor the graduating students.
The pinning ceremony is a proud nursing tradition with roots as far back as the time of the Crusades and continued in modern times through the accomplishments of Florence Nightingale. The first nursing pins were awarded in America in 1880. Nursing students receiving their nursing pin at this ceremony will join over 3,800 University of Portland graduates who marked their transition from student to professional nursing practice with this event. Our nursing pin is unique with rich and meaningful symbolism that represents the special characteristics of our University and program. [Note the side bar description of the pin on this page.]
Two Master/Mistresses of Ceremony selected by their peers will host the program. Highlights include the invocation given by a senior nurse selected from the 2009 graduating class, a keynote speaker address, the announcement of senior award recipients, the presentation of pins and closing remarks by a graduate from each cohort selected by their peers. Beautiful live music enhances the celebration and tradition of the event.
Graduates, please print the student pinning nomination form using the link below and select from your cohort, people who you feel would best perform the various student roles in the ceremony. You will also nominate a peer from your cohort for the Harriett Osborne Jeckell leadership award. Nomination forms are due February 11.

Please take the time to complete the form and return it to the nursing office, BC 315, by February 11. If you have any questions regarding the ceremony or the pin form feel free to contact Kelly Margheim, margheim@up.edu or telephone, 503-943-8144.
