Quincy
College Awards School
Pin to Nursing Graduates
Quincy College’s Associate Degree in Nursing
Professional Recognition Ceremony was a memorable
event for 62 of the school’s nursing graduates.
Family, friends, faculty, staff and some other very
special guests filled Bethany Congregational Church
to show their support for each of the new graduates.
With Pomp and Circumstance playing in the
background, the graduates marched proudly down the
church aisle as family members and friends popped in
and out of the pews to take pictures.
Kristin M. Parks, Chair of the Associate Degree
Program in Nursing, welcomed everyone to the
 night’s
momentous occasion. She asked the graduates to stand
up and give a round of applause to their family and
friends for their love, support and patience as they
(the graduates) spent the last few years completing
their nursing degree. She then introduced the
faculty of the nursing program who also received a
loud applause from the graduates.
Among the list of speakers was Peter Tsaffaras,
Chairman of the Quincy College Board of Governors,
and Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch, who congratulated all
of the graduates for their accomplishments in the
nursing program. As Mayor Koch brought his speech to
a close he said to the graduates, “You will be
touching many lives from here on out.”
Other speakers included President Martha Sue Harris
and Sean Roper as the Professional Recognition
Speaker. Roper graduated from the nursing program at
Quincy College in 2007. He reminisced about his time
in the nursing program saying, “Time has gone by
fast and I have learned so much. I pray that you do
great things.”
Awarding of the school pin was done by Professor
Susan Cahill of the nursing program. While pinning
many of her now-previous students, she received many
hand shakes, hugs and kisses from the graduates.
Some of the graduates were pinned by other faculty
members of their choice and family members who are
also nurses.
After the last graduate received her pin, class
representatives took to the stage to bid their
fellow graduates farewell and good luck.
The
ceremony concluded with closing remarks from
Margaret P. Rancourt, Coordinator of the Part-Time
Associate Degree Program in Nursing, who looked onto
the graduates with pride and tears of joy. In
closing she said to the graduates, “I am so proud to
have worked with you and for you.”
Quincy College’s RN Professional Recognition
Ceremony was held on January 18, 2008 at the Bethany
Congregational Church in Quincy Center.
