Alumni Weekend

Last October classmates from as far back as 1965 gathered for a weekend full of fun and adventures. Good food, great talks, reminiscing with classmates and a dinner and demonstration in the new simulated clinical laboratory were enjoyed by all.

White Coat Ceremony

In March 2006 the UK College of Nursing Alumni Association sponsored the first (and we hope, annual tradition), of conferring white laboratory coats on the soon-to-graduate seniors. There was much excitement and great pride as each student put on her or his coat while being helped by a member of the alumni association. Dean Carolyn Williams spoke about the importance of the tradition of ethics and professionalism that the white coats represent. She talked about the history of nurses taking the Nightingale pledge and how that has both changed and yet remained the same. Each student received a one year complementary membership to the CONAA and a handwritten note of welcome and congratulations from an alum.
