For University of Charleston-Beckley students, an important milestone took place Saturday, Aug. 8, as the Associate Degree of Nursing program held its pinning ceremony at the Raleigh Playhouse and Theater, and a Ronceverte woman was one of those participating.
Emily McDowell received her pin, which welcomed the newly graduated nursing students into the professional ranks.
The University of Charleston Associate Degree in Nursing started at its Beckley location in September, 2014. The program offers a unique schedule, allowing students to continue to work, while attending classes on the weekend.
