The University of Rochester School of Nursing's Pinning Ceremony celebrates the September 2021 graduating accelerated nursing cohort.

Tickets are required for this event, and it will be livestreamed on the School's Facebook page and Vimeo.

The pinning ceremony is a time-honored tradition at nursing schools that dates back to the 1800s, and it symbolizes the graduates’ accomplishments and the beginning of their careers. At the UR School of Nursing, the ceremony marks the end of an intense year of professional preparation for the graduates, who have now completed the school’s Accelerated Bachelor's Program for Non-Nurses. The School of Nursing will host the ceremony at the Larry and Cindy Bloch Alumni and Advancement Center. A reception will follow.
