Thomas Jefferson University apologized Friday for mispronouncing nursing graduates' names during its commencement ceremony.

The leadership and faculty of Thomas Jefferson University extend our sincerest apologies for the mispronunciations of the names of several of our graduating nursing students during our recent commencement ceremony,” the school said.
