Help Fund the UMB Nursing Class of 2025 Pinning Ceremony!
We are the UMB Nursing Class of 2025, and after years of hard work, clinical hours, exams, and late-night study sessions, we’re finally getting ready to graduate — and with that comes our Nursing Pinning Ceremony.
This ceremony is such a meaningful tradition for nursing students. It marks our transition from student to nurse and honors the journey we’ve taken to get here — full of growth, challenges, and community support.
The entire event is student-led and self-funded, which means we’re organizing and covering all the costs ourselves. That includes:
• Pins and stoles for each graduate
• Ceremony programs and printed materials
• Venue and AV setup
• Decorations, flowers, and light refreshments
• A photographer to capture the moment
We’re currently collecting vendor quotes and will update this page with a detailed breakdown of how funds will be used. Transparency is really important to us, and we want everyone to know exactly where their donation is going.
Funds will go directly into the official UMB Nursing 2025 account, managed by Class President Samantha Hartman and Class Treasurer Stacey Valencia.
Our goal is to raise $6,000 to help make this experience memorable and affordable for all students.
If you’re unable to donate, we’d still be so grateful if you could share this with family, friends, and anyone who wants to support the next generation of nurses.
Thank you so much for helping us celebrate this milestone. We couldn’t do it without you
With gratitude,
UMB Nursing Class of 2025
