WNC Fallon Students Graduate May 19

Western Nevada College commencement ceremonies are less than a month away. The Class of 2025 will be honored in May with separate ceremonies in Carson City and Fallon. 

The Carson City commencement is set for 10 a.m. Monday, May 19, at the Marv Teixeira Pavilion in Mills Park, with a second ceremony scheduled for 10 a.m. Wednesday, May 21, at the Barkley Theatre in the Oats Park Arts Center in Fallon. 

WNC President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe will be on stage to personally congratulate each graduate. “As an educator, commencement is always my favorite time of year. It’s a celebration of hard work, perseverance, and the deep pride our students and their families feel in reaching this milestone,” said Dr. Dalpe. 

WNC Foundation Board Trustee Lupe Ramirez—a WNC graduate and the creator of the Latino Cohort and Latino Leadership Academy—will deliver the commencement address at both ceremonies. After a 32-year career in higher education, Ramirez now serves as president of the Carson City School District Board of Trustees.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
