Congratulations Spring 2022 CU Nursing Graduates!

Unexpected and unforgettable are two words that describe the past two years. 2021 and 2022 will be remembered as unique. We know it’s been challenging, and you and your classmates have stepped up during these extraordinary times.

Your courage, patience, and ability to roll with ever-changing rules and attitudes will serve you well in the years to come.

Let’s take a moment to shine a spotlight on you and share stories about some of your fellow classmates. If you’d like to see yourself highlighted in future CU Nursing news vehicles, contact con.marketing@ucdenver.edu.

Graduation information for Friday, May 27th.
