2009 Spring Convocation On Friday, May 1, 2009 the College of Nursing held its Spring Convocation Ceremony in Tully Gym, located near Duxbury Hall on the main campus of Florida State University. The faculty address was delivered by Dr. Sally Karioth in front of 82 graduates and their invited guests. The Spring Class of 2009 gave $500 to the Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Foundation. The class officers decided to make the donation in response to a speech given by their classmate (Mykal O'Shea) where she described the disease and how her father died from it before she began nursing school. Right now there is no cure for the disease and it is autosomal dominant, which means there's a 50/50 chance that she and her brothers could develop PKD. The class chose this as their class gift to honor the O'Shea family, as well as, the other families from their term who lost loved ones during their time together.
