Pinning and Commencement Ceremonies
A formal pinning ceremony is held multiple times per year to recognize the BSN Pre-Licensure students completing program requirements and preparing to enter the Nursing Professions. The actual tradition of the nursing pin, a medal of excellence and ceremonial pinning originated in the 1860’s at the Nightingale School of Nursing at St. Thomas Hospital in London. The nursing pin, a proud symbol and tradition shared by nurses, represent where your professional education and experience were earned. Students may purchase their pin via Jostens. Aspen University does not provide pins for students.
Aspen University holds an annual Commencement ceremony. More information can be found on the Commencement page on the website.
