Regalia

Undergraduate Students - Portland, Monmouth and Virtual undergraduate students need to order their rental regalia from Royal T papers by April 14, 2012.
Students on our Ashland, Klamath Falls, and La Grande campuses should check with their campus staff regarding purchasing regalia for your ceremony. 

Graduate Students – Master’s candidates should rent their regalia online from Royal T Papers by the April 14th deadline. It is highly recommended that Doctoral candidates purchase their regalia as it will likely be used more than once. If you wish to purchase, please contact Royal-T via phone at 1800 552-3228. Unfortunately, purchased regalia cannot be ordered online.

Post Master's Certificate Option Students - These candidates should plan on renting regalia, which will include the Master's level black gown, mortar board, appropriate colored tassel and hood.

School of Nursing Pin

The nursing pin is a lovely memento graduates of the program take pride in receiving.  Circular in

Nursing pin
shape, the center of the pin is a replica of Florence Nightingale holding a lamp representing the Greek lamp of knowledge.  Ms. Nightingale is framed by a white circle with the OHSU School of Nursing name; the white circlet is associated with the values of integrity, purity and joy.  A laurel wreath provides a surrounding border symbolizing the "victor's prize" with the year of the graduation inscribed at the base of the wreath.  Graduates also have the option to have their initials inscribed on the back of the pin, which creates a long-lasting and memorable keepsake.

Each and every one of our graduates has worked hard, overcome obstacles and believes the "victor's prize" well deserved.  There is little doubt that the symbolism involved in the pins design is appropriate to the graduates' experiences as students in the School of Nursing.

Please complete the Baccalaureate Nursing Pin Order form by the March deadline and return to Klein Jewelers if you are interested in purchasing a Nursing pin. Prices and deadlines for the nursing pin are set each fall. As each pin is custom made, orders submitted after the deadline may not be filled prior to the pinning ceremony.
