Dear BSN students graduating in December 2026, 

The Kent Campus Convocation (pinning) ceremony will be held on Friday, Dec. 18, in the Kent Student Center Ballroom. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the ceremony will begin at 6:00 p.m. This event typically lasts about an hour. Limited guest registration will be available. Graduating seniors will receive informative emails, including links to order their nursing pin and to register for the ceremony, starting in Sept. 2026 from nursingevents@kent.edu. 

Registration is required to attend this event.  

While you are welcome to purchase a nursing pin, it is not required to attend the ceremony. Every graduate will be "pinned" with a ribbon. If you purchase a pin, it will be attached to your ribbon. If you have questions about your pin order, please contact: Jim Coleman, Ltd.Phone: 847-963-8100 or email: sheryl@jimcolemanltd.com. 

The Fall 2026 BSN Convocation will be livestreamed for loved ones who are unable to join us in person. The livestream link will be emailed to all registered graduating students in the days leading up to the event. 

If you have any questions about your Fall 2026 BSN Convocation (Pinning) Ceremony, please email nursingevents@kent.edu with the subject line: BSN CONVO Fall 2026.
