Following an awards and pinning ceremony, bachelor’s degree students preparing to graduate from the University of Illinois Chicago College of Nursing will line up at the pool in UIC’s Sport & Fitness Center, count down, then jump in together, wearing their scrubs.
The pool jump has been a rite of passage for more than 40 years at UIC. It took root simply by each class of undergraduate students passing it on to the next — nowadays, primarily through the College of Nursing Student Council.
Media who wish to attend to capture video and photos should RSVP to Scott Goldberg at 224-539-7733 or scottg1@uic.edu.
