| Jackson, Tenn. - Â鶹ÊÓƵ University's Germantown campus
graduated its first class of RN-to-BSN nursing students last Sunday, Dec. 20, in the
Mid-America Seminary chapel. The University conferred 33 degrees during the commencement
ceremony.  Â鶹ÊÓƵ has operated a
RN-to-BSN program in Germantown since fall of 1997 and has offered a similar program on
its Jackson campus since 1979. The RN-to-BSN program was designed to allow registered
nurses to earn a bachelor of science in nursing while continuing their professional work.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ Provost Carla D. Sanderson delivered the commencement address at the Germantown
ceremony. Sanderson is currently serving her ninth year as Â鶹ÊÓƵ's dean of the school of
nursing.
This is the second year Â鶹ÊÓƵ has held a fall graduation ceremony. The University began
offering a fall commencement in 1996, so that students who fulfill their degree
requirements during the fall or winter semesters can graduate closer to the time they
complete their college curriculum.
