A new tradition. The beginning of an incredible journey. 🩺💙

Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing celebrated its first-ever Stethoscope Ceremony, marking an important first step for our students as they begin their journey toward becoming nurses.

Surrounded by classmates, faculty, family and friends, students received their stethoscopes as a symbol of the compassion, responsibility and purpose they will carry with them throughout their nursing education and into the profession.

This is only the beginning, and we cannot wait to see where their journeys take them.

Welcome Week at CON and SOMI was one for the books. 🐐☕

From baby goats on campus and free coffee to giveaways, activities and plenty of time with classmates, our students had a full week of fun as we kicked off a new semester together.

We loved seeing so many smiles around campus and welcoming everyone back. 💙

A new chapter begins for St. Mary’s Hospital School of Medical Imaging. 💙

Last week, we were proud to celebrate the grand opening of SOMI’s new home alongside the students, faculty, staff, leaders and community members who helped make this milestone possible.

From the ribbon cutting to the first look inside the new space, the day was a celebration of how far SOMI has come and everything still ahead. Most importantly, it was a celebration of the people who make this school what it is.

A special thank you to Amy Pozza, chief financial officer, for the leadership, dedication and countless hours she contributed to helping bring SOMI’s new home to life. We’re also incredibly grateful to everyone who played a part in making this new space possible and helping bring this milestone to fruition.

Here’s to the next chapter for SOMI!

A little laughter, a lot of connection and one shared purpose. 💙

Our Richmond Higher Education Institutions came together for Convocation to kick off the 2026-27 academic year, reconnect as one RHEI community and reflect on the values that guide how we support our students and one another.

From Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing to Southside College of Health Sciences and St. Mary’s Hospital School of Medical Imaging, each school brings something different to our community. Together, we are rooted in purpose and rising in unity as we prepare for another year of learning, service and growth.

Here’s to the people behind our programs and the community that makes this work possible.

What does it take to bring a donor impact story to life? 🎥

Last week, we went behind the scenes with Bookend Creative to capture the people, programs and experiences that show what donor support makes possible at Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing.

From scholarships and student support to clinical simulation and new opportunities for future nurses, the day was all about sharing the impact happening across BSMCON.

A special thank you to everyone who stepped in front of the camera, worked behind the scenes and helped bring this project together. We can’t wait to share the finished video.

Meet Jazzy, our new Student Success Advisor! 👋

Jazzy knows firsthand the impact a great advisor can have. Inspired by the advisors who supported her through challenging moments in college, she built a career around helping students feel heard, supported and confident as they work toward their goals.

She earned her bachelor’s degree in sociocultural anthropology from Boston University and her master’s degree in educational policy, planning and leadership from William & Mary. Now, she’s excited to support our students from enrollment through graduation and beyond.

“I want the community to know that I’m dedicated to listening and finding answers. Students carry less stress when they know they can share their concerns without judgment, so that’s the type of advisor I aim to be.”

Outside of work, Jazzy enjoys crafting and hopes to get into making miniatures, including houses and landscapes.

Help us give Jazzy a warm welcome! 💙
