At a time when the nation faces an ongoing nursing shortage, Rio Grande Valley College (RGV College) in Pharr, Texas, celebrated a milestone that stands as a testament to resilience, leadership, and community impact — the launch of its 100th Vocational Nursing Cohort.
Gathering under a bright Texas morning sky, community leaders, educators, and students came together to honor not only the college’s growth but also the life-changing power of education. “RGV College is making history today,” the master of ceremonies said. “This morning will be a celebration of that life-changing impact that education brings to our region.”
The ceremony opened with acknowledgments to distinguished guests, including Texas State Representative Terry Canales, Pharr Mayor Dr. Ambrosio Hernandez, and RGV College CEO and President Dr. Annabelle Palomo.
Pharr Mayor Dr. Ambrosio Hernandez offered heartfelt remarks centered on leadership and purpose. “My comments are directed at Dr. Palomo about her school, her success, and her achievement,” he said. “We’re just fortunate enough to have her and blessed that we are having her in our city.”
