MATC “PINS”

THIS FRIDAY EVENING AS PART OF GRADUATION TRADITION
WHAT:
A “pining” ceremony for MATC’s graduating associate degree
(RN) nursing students held traditionally to complement commencement activities.
WHO:
48 new associate degree (RN) nurses; 26 from the college’s Madison
campus and 22 from its Reedsburg campus. MATC staff and nursing faculty
also will participate.

are among the 2,013 students who will graduate at MATC’s commencement
ceremony (being held this Saturday, May15 at 10 am in the Veteran’s
Memorial Coliseum, Alliant Energy Center).
Many
of the graduates have interesting life stories, including Lobsang Phintso,
a Tibetan refuge male graduate who is working at Meriter Hospital.
The number
of men pursuing nursing as a career has been growing. This semester, 7
