COMMENCEMENT 2022

Loma Linda University School of Nursing enjoyed a return to a time-honored tradition this year with the first in-person commencement ceremony since 2019. Graduates and their families enjoyed the sights and sounds of the penultimate LLU graduation weekend event held once again in the Drayson Center Opsahl Gymnasium. This was the 116th class to graduate from the school since its founding in 1905, and consisted of 230 graduates from its various undergraduate and graduate programs. Commencement speaker and Class of 1960 alumna, T. Grace Emori-Elder addressed the graduates with a message of encouragement and hope, giving them perspective on the journey they have traveled to this point and what lies ahead. It was an event that celebrated the milestone of graduation but even more so acknowledged the unprecedented obstacles faced by each of the graduates while attending nursing school during the pandemic.
