Commitment Ceremony observed for Nursing students

Every year, the College of Nursing holds the Commitment Ceremony, a tradition where second year female students receive their caps and male students their pins. The cap symbolizes the dignity of the profession. The pin represents being a part of De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute and as such they possess Christ-centric values exemplified by the life of St. John Baptist de La Salle.

The ceremony also highlighted the candlelighting that signifies  the nursing students’ vigilance to the needs of the people they serve and shows affirmation of their commitment to the profession.

This year’s Commitment Ceremony was held on September 28, 2018, 9:00am at the Twin Hearts of Jesus and Mary Chapel. Rev. Fr. Joseph Aloysius M. Cosina officiated the mass while Vice Chancellor for Academics Dr. Juanito O. Cabanias, LPT, MAE, PhD delivered the message. A festive lunch followed at the College of Nursing.
