WCC Allied Health Graduates Pinned at Ceremony

December 18, 2025

Wayne Community College’s Workforce Continuing Education Services celebrated the fall graduates of its Allied Health programs at a pinning ceremony.

Graduates of WCC’s Nurse Aide I, Phlebotomy, Pharmacy Technician, and Dialysis Technician programs received pins and certificates of completion at the ceremony.

WCC President Patty Pfeiffer explained that the pin signifies the transition from student to graduate to healthcare professional. “Today not only represents your successful completion of your educational program but your formal entry into healthcare,” she told the graduates.
