For ADN students, the keynote speaker was Kate Wyatt, a nursing instructor and critical care nurse, and the student speaker was Nakyah Taylor. For CPN students, the event featured a keynote address by Jacquelyn Failla, assistant professor of nursing, and the student speaker was Seth Tayman. Special awards were presented by Sarah Wray, director of nursing.
