🎉 Congratulations to Dawson Luna, who is the winner of the Caring Award!
Dawson shared what earning a Joyce degree means to him:
“I am proud to be a Joyce graduate for the opportunity Joyce gave me to pursue the dream my kid self always had, the chance to be challenged academically through the aBSN program, and the ability to celebrate the pain of what I endured for the joy that awaits me. Joyce helped me grow in ways I never imagined and prepared me for what’s next.”
Dawson embodies the Joyce values by showing up as his authentic self, seeking to understand, listening deeply, and helping others feel heard and supported.
Next up: Dawson is heading back home to California to reconnect with friends and family, spending some much-needed time with his dog, and continuing to work as a CNA while awaiting the next step in his nursing career.
