\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 January 4, 2011 \u2013 The 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Nursing will call for those attending the 65th Anniversary Celebration Gala to dig out their denim and dust off their diamonds March 19.<\/p>\n


\n\tTo be held at the Marriott of Newport from 6 to 11 p.m., the theme of the event will be Denim \u2018N Diamonds. Guests are encouraged to forego the formal attire and instead, wear casual denim pieces accessorized with diamonds. Tickets are $100 per person. Proceeds will provide a fund for student scholarships.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI would describe the theme as being creative,\u201d said Michaela Mooney, assistant dean of nursing and event committee member. \u201cIt will be something fun and spirited to break up the end of winter, not like other formal events.\u201d <\/p>\n


\n\tAlong with ensuring guests a good time, the event committee is also encouraging networking among alumni and other nursing professionals. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThis is a function during which we want to build a community of alumni, get classes of students to come back and attend events and build bonds within the 溏心vlog免费B站 community. Many of those attending will be former graduates, and we also anticipate a number of local health care professionals,\u201d said Dayle Joseph, dean of the College of Nursing. <\/p>\n


\n\tAmong those health care professionals attending will be honorary co-chairs Brandon Melton, senior vice president of human resources for Lifespan; Carolyn Merriman, president of Corporate Health Group; Michael Paruta, director of workforce development for Woman and Infants Hospital; and Marilyn Walsh, senior vice president of human resources for Care New England. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cWe want to create an operating scholarship fund as a result of the gala,\u201d said Joseph. \u201cI have students with all sorts of needs coming in throughout the year, but don\u2019t have unrestricted dollars to help them. Establishing this fund will enable us to provide assistance to students as their needs arise.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tHosted by NBC 10 Anchorman Gene Valicenti, the night\u2019s events include a silent auction, photo booths, and various live musical acts featuring 溏心vlog免费B站 students and graduates, including the Hummingbird Trio and Rockin\u2019 Soul Horns, a prominent regional band that will provide music for dancing. The celebration will also honor members of the nursing community who have received Alumni Achievement awards. <\/p>\n


\n\tKen Owens, event chair, believes that promoting the 溏心vlog免费B站 nursing program and forging deeper connections with its graduates, will lead to strong support of the event and stronger support of the College in the future.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve taken away the formality of the event to create a fun environment in which people can relax and connect with each other,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
