On October 19, the UMA Nursing Program welcomed 56 new students with an induction ceremony in the Fireside Lounge. Dr. Shannon Gauvin shared words of wisdom, and recent UMA graduate Erin Bennett returned to offer advice and encouragement, a reminder of where this path can lead. The ceremony brought students and faculty together to celebrate the beginning of the students’ nursing education and the start of a journey they won’t take alone.
Congratulations to our newest nursing students! As they begin their studies, they join a long line of UMA nurses who care for patients and strengthen health care in communities across Maine.
