On September 28, 2020, Carroll’s newest nursing cohort received their mobius loop pin (provided by the Arnold P. Gold Foundation) at the annual Nursing White Coat and Hand Blessing Ceremony in All Saints Chapel. The White Coat Ceremony is designed as a rite of passage to emphasize the importance of compassionate patient care at the very start of training. The mobius loop used on the pin design symbolizes the continuous bond of trust, respect and clear communication between healthcare professionals and their patients, which occurs when humanism is at the core of medical practice.
While COVID physical distancing requirements kept all levels of the nursing program from gathering together at the ceremony this year, more than 100 upperclass nursing students, family and friends watched the ceremony via livestream. (The ceremony is available for viewing at this link: https://youtu.be/fk0NfqpINss). |

Carroll College is exploring the possibility of offering a winter intersession, with a select number of online (asynchronous) and remote (synchronous) classes being offered in between the Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters. Similar to the summer session, this winter intersession could serve as a chance to catch up or get ahead on requirements. Before making a final decision, we are hoping to get feedback from students. |
