Spring 2020 Graduation
Despite our lives being changed with the current COVID-19 pandemic, we want to wish an early CONGRATULATIONS to our Spring 2020 cohort for reaching the home stretch!  We are aware that our social distancing has affected the commencement ceremonies and are working hard to recognize our graduates for their amazing achievements.  We will continue to update you if there are virtual events or future events that will be made available:

A Reflection on our Spring Oral Defenses
In recognition of the statewide Stay-In-Shelter orders, the Spring 2020 Oral Defenses for DNP NCC were fully online through zoom sessions this year.  San José State University held the first set of presentations on Tuesday, April 14, 2020.  Fresno State University finished the second set of presentations on Thursday, April 16, 2020.    

Many topics were covered on those two dates and the events were a success.  We would like to thank everyone that joined us and we would like to congratulate our Spring 2020 cohort for the completion of their oral defenses.
