HOPE – The University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana is proud to announce the pinning ceremony for the latest graduates of the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training program. The event will take place on Monday, May 4, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., at Hempstead Hall.
The pinning ceremony symbolizes the transition from student to healthcare professional and recognizes the hard work and dedication of our graduates. This year, we celebrate 19 students who have successfully completed their training, demonstrating exceptional skill and commitment to patient care.
Family, friends, and community members are invited to join us in honoring these new healthcare professionals as they embark on their nursing careers. The ceremony will feature guest speakers, a presentation of pins, and opportunities for attendees to meet the graduates.
