Student Nurses’ Association Holds First Annual Graduation Cord Ceremony

On Monday, November 28, 2016, the Student Nurses’ Association (SNA) at University of Hawai’i at Manoa held its first annual Graduation Cord Ceremony in Webster Hall 205, where faculty and students gathered to honor the recipients. This year, 11 students received SNA Leadership Membership Cords to recognize their dedication in serving the UHM nursing student body, the community, and the nursing profession through their commitment to the SNA. Dr. Clementina Ceria-Ulep, Professor and Interim Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Gary Glauberman, SNA Faculty Advisor, and Melissa Henry, SNA President, presented the students with the cords.
