16 medical assisting graduates celebrated with a pinning ceremony, a tradition which marks the beginning of a healthcare career.
Each graduate chose one special person to present them with their pin on stage.
“When you look at this pin,” said Dr. Sarah Kuzera, chair of the medical assisting department, “I hope you don’t simply see a piece of metal. I hope you see the nights you spent studying. I hope you remember the assignments you weren’t sure about. I hope you remember the tests that challenged you. I hope you remember the laughter you shared with your classmates and with us. I hope you remember the people who encouraged you. And most importantly, I hope you remember the version of yourself who refused to quit.”
Amelia Haltiner won this year’s Maxine Williams Award, honoring a student who demonstrates dedication and compassion, serves as an academic and professional role model, and inspires fellow students throughout the program.
