🎉A Heartfelt Congratulations to Our Amazing Nursing Graduates!🎉

The DACC Nursing Program would like to highlight and celebrate two incredible couples who have achieved their Associate Degrees in Nursing!

Stacey Sausa and Florian Haberland graduated this Summer 2025 term. Here’s a glimpse of their journey together:

"The opportunity to take the nursing program together was truly a blessing for us. We really enjoyed being each other’s study partner and were able to push and lift each other up any time we were struggling. It was a challenging program, but the time completely flew by and we’ve learned and grown so much because of it, even as a married couple. This experience strengthened us in so many ways, and we couldn’t be more grateful for our wonderful family, instructors, and peers who were all a tremendous part in helping us get to the finish line together. We both started this program with not much prior medical experience but ended up graduating with honors and feeling much more confident and prepared to provide quality care and service in this field. Thank you so much DACC and faculty for helping us reach this milestone and achievement in our lives and for all the fun, unforgettable memories!"

Richard Antwi and Priscilla Okyere have also made remarkable strides in their nursing journey. Richard graduated in Fall 2024, and Priscilla completed her degree this Summer 2025. Here are their inspiring words:

Priscilla:
"This journey was anything but easy and I couldn’t have done it without the Grace of God, the unwavering support of my Amazing Husband, family, and friends. This milestone isn’t just mine; it’s OURS!"

Richard:
"It has been an amazing and challenging journey, but one motivation I had was I believed that in God’s own time, He makes all things beautiful, and He sure has! Special thanks and shout out to my amazing wife who has been by my side all this while."

It has been such a unique and special experience to have Stacey & Florian and Richard & Priscilla as students in our program. Witnessing their growth and dedication has been a joy for everyone involved, and we are grateful to have shared this memorable chapter with them! 💙
