Berkley School of Nursing faculty celebrated the extraordinary accomplishments of their undergraduate and graduate students at the School of Nursing Tropaia ceremony on May 14. Joanna Ranelli (G’26), a graduate of the dual Nurse-Midwifery and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner program, delivered the student address and encouraged fellow graduates to carry Georgetown’s values into every aspect of their careers. “Cura personalis is not passive compassion, it is active responsibility and commitment,” said Ranelli. “You are not just clinically prepared…You are intellectually rigorous. You are ethically grounded. You are formed in a tradition that demands reflection and action.” Find out more about the ceremony and see highlights at https://nursing.georgetown.edu/news-story/tropaia-ceremony-2026/
