In a joyful ceremony held May 1 on the University of South Carolina's Beaufort Campus, 43 Nursing students received their nursing pins. For centuries, the nurse’s lapel pin has been a badge of honor, signifying the honor of the profession and the school of graduation. The University of South Carolina Beaufort Nursing Pin was created in 2011 by the students of the first graduating class of the pre-licensure program. The pin reads University of South Carolina Beaufort BSN within a navy circle, surrounding our iconic shark fin against teal and navy waves, signifying our mascot and coastal presence.

Jalen Manor Clinical Assistant Professor of Nursing, gave the keynote address at the nurse pinning ceremony.
