Edgecombe Community College recognized its Associate Degree Nursing graduates on May 6 during the annual pinning ceremony on the Tarboro campus. The 54 graduates were pinned two days before ECC’s commencement ceremony.

“This year’s ADN pinning ceremony was especially meaningful as we celebrated 54 graduates — the largest graduating class in our program’s history,” said Ami Denton, director of nursing programs. “Their dedication, resilience and compassion represent the future of nursing, and we are incredibly proud to welcome them into the profession.”

Amie Sasser, a CT/MRI instructor and clinical coordinator at Edgecombe Community College, delivered her remarks to the eight graduates who were pinned May 6 during ECC’s Radiography Pinning Ceremony. Sasser urged ECC’s Radiography Class of 2026 to pursue success while keeping a greater purpose at the center of their work. She framed her message around three words: precision, patience and purpose.

Edgecombe Community College is launching a new volunteer program that invites community members to meet new people, build valuable skills, and make a meaningful impact on campus and throughout Edgecombe County. Volunteer opportunities will be available year-round.
