Class of 2020 

Graduation
The Class of 2020 did a wonderful job presenting their Capstone Projects on Friday, May 8, 2020 just before our their virtual graduation ceremony that afternoon. They were joined by program supervisors and supporters, Capstone Committee members, UNCG faculty and administrators, family and friends. The warmth and joy of this celebration connected us all through the screens and across many states. We are proud of what you accomplished and the many ways that you are already making a difference in the lives of your patients and communities that you serve. Congratulations!
