The Midwives College of Utah is pleased to commemorate the graduating midwifery class of Apr 2024 – June 2025 in a Virtual Commencement Ceremony!
Join us in honoring MCU’s Student of Excellence, Faculty Member of Excellence, Staff Member of Excellence, along with the recipient of the Kristi Ridd Young Leadership for Impact Award. Our ceremony will begin at 2PM MT on July 12, 2025. Please be sure to RSVP at the link below to receive access information and updates.
We will be honoring the journey of each student midwife — many of whom have served their communities through times of crisis and transformation. The theme, “This is My Why,” lifts up the stories, commitments, and people that called our graduates into midwifery.
This moment is deeply personal. Our graduates have worked so hard, sacrificed so much, and serve bravely. Join us to show your support and honor our midwives’ journeys together.
Donations from the evening support the Briana Blackwelder Equal Access Scholarship Fund. You can donate during the event and in advance at the link below!
