Russell Howell, professor of mathematics at Westmont, provided introductory remarks.
“I realized not all of you are parents of our graduates,” Howell said. “You are all here because you have had a significant influence on their lives. Rest assured that your influence will certainly continue.”

May is National Nurses Month and Noozhawk is proud to again publish our annual Salute to Nurses section recognizing one of the most challenging, vital and rewarding careers you can have.
Thanks to our sponsors VNA Health, Cottage Health, Allan Hancock College, CSU Channel Islands, Sansum Clinic, SBCC Foundation and Westmont College we are able to highlight the important roles that nurses fulfill in our health-care system, as well as a few of the men and women who fill those clogs and running shoes.
Words can not begin to describe how grateful we are for the courage and sacrifices of nurses, especially on the chaotic frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis, but we’ll start with two: Thank you.
