On Friday, April 24, BYU College of Nursing held its convocation ceremony in the Joseph Smith Building Auditorium, honoring 132 graduates—118 receiving Bachelor of Science degrees and 14 earning master’s degrees. The ceremony celebrated the graduates’ dedication, perseverance, and academic achievement.
Honoring the Master Healer
A highlight of the ceremony was a stained-glass exhibition titled Believe in Him, by artist Tom Holdman, which served as a striking backdrop. This portable version of Come Unto Me, originally installed in the Rome Temple Visitors’ Center, depicts significant moments from the life, ministry, parables, and miracles of Jesus Christ through a series of panels. First unveiled in Paris in 2023, the exhibition was displayed in London and Washington, D.C., before coming to BYU.
“As we celebrate our graduates, who are now prepared to heal, teach, lead, and serve,” said Dean Jane Lassetter, “we do so in the presence of this beautiful witness of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, the Master Healer.”
