The Nursing Alumnae and Nursing Student Activities Committee and Faculty of John Tyler Community College Nursing Program would like to strengthen our ties to our alumni. We hope to do so by improving communication and encouraging continued participation of our alumni in college events, especially those that involve our nursing students. We have found that our nursing students enjoy contact and even mentoring by our alumni. They are encouraged and inspired to learn of all the work and accomplishments of our graduates.
Please join us for an alumni reception and the College's pinning ceremony.

Our pinning ceremony has grown to be a dynamic event where each graduate is awarded the JTCC nursing pin by the college. There are guest speakers and student speakers that are truly inspiring and also amusing. We also recognize our alumnae at this event. In the past, not all graduates received pins, and we have changed the pin in recent years. For these reasons, we have created a sterling silver alumni lapel pin that is a smaller version of our current nursing pin. Those alumni, who have not yet received one, will be awarded the JTCC alumni pin at the Alumnae Welcome Reception. The alumni who attend our pinning ceremonies will be recognized during the ceremony. The alumnae will have reserved seating in the front of the room with the graduates and faculty.
