Huron, Ohio – On August 9, Bowling Green State University Firelands College students will participate in a pinning ceremony in conjunction with their attainment of an associate of applied science degree in radiologic technology or diagnostic medical sonography.
“We are proud of our graduates who have completed the program and have chosen to work in an admirable profession for the delivery of healthcare,” said BGSU Firelands Sonography Program Director Cara Vickery.
The graduates have completed a rigorous program that included a two-year clinical internship and they have earned the right to take the national registry exam.
“Many of these students will continue their education in advanced placement for
vascular and cardiac sonography, radiation therapy, mammography, CAT scan, or MRI, and will work toward a bachelor’s degree. We congratulate them all.” said BGSU Firelands Radiography Program Director Sylvia Fedro.
The graduates are:
2nd graduating class of diagnostic medical sonography:
Brianna Lynn Eskins Sandusky
Becky L. Fellenstein Vermilion
Michelle Lynn Strader Wakeman

The pinning ceremony is a 1,000-year old symbol of service to others. The earliest ancestor of the pin dates back to the Maltese Cross and was adopted by the Crusaders. The nursing profession assumed the ceremony for their graduates and was soon joined by other professions that serve in direct patient care.
The ceremony will be held Sunday, August 9 at 1 p.m. in the Cedar Point Center at BGSU Firelands. Interim Dean of BGSU Firelands Andrew Kurtz, Department Chair of Applied Sciences Cynthia Miglietti, Fedro, Vickery and Radiography Clinical Coordinator Valerie Glowacki, Diagnostic Medical Sonography Clinical Coordinator Dana Eskins and part-time Coordinator Malissa Frazier will preside over the event.
