Nursing pinning ceremonies became a U.S. tradition in the early 1800s to mark students’ completion of their education and entry into the profession.

Then on Friday, May 16, ASU’s Air Force ROTC Detachment 847 will conduct its Spring Commissioning Ceremony for graduating cadets at 10 a.m. in the Cactus Hotel downtown. The cadets will receive their appointments as second lieutenants in the U.S. Air Force or Space Force.

Many other departments and offices will also be conducting special graduation events and activities for their students across the campus throughout the week.
