It seems fitting on the day that marks Florence Nightengale’s birthday that 181 Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing students graduated. The pioneer of modern nursing is a fitting role model, said Dean Marla Salmon.

Commencement speaker Michael M.E. Johns, chancellor of Emory, shared a few life lessons. "Your reputation always will precede you into the room," he said.

"Your degree is both a blessing and a burden. You know what excellence is, but now you have a special obligation. You’re good, but we expect you to do better. No matter what you do, you carry the Emory pedigree. You are our proof of principle."
