Ramapo, NY -The pinning ceremony for SUNY Rockland Community College nursing graduates will be held on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 6 - 9 p.m. in the Cultural Arts Theater, followed by a reception in the Atrium.

Graduating students of the RCC Nursing Program proclaim the Nightingale Pledge and receive their school pin at this traditional ceremony witnessed by family and friends.

Rockland Community College, a unit of the State University of New York, is located 25 miles northwest of NYC. The majority of its students transfer to four-year colleges, and many find immediate employment upon earning their associate's degree or certificate. The College also offers others, from preschoolers to senior citizens, the opportunity to simply learn something new. Quality education...at a price you can afford.
