We aim to represent a variety of specialties and welcome your suggestions to ensure a well-rounded panel. Several of our alumni are currently thriving in New Grad programs and are eager to share their insights, experiences, and tips to help guide your journey.

The Story:
Chris Latorre and Courtney Pedersen, Spring '25 graduates, began exploring peer mentorship through their Epsilon Phi Honors Society capstone project, focusing on the impact and effectiveness of mentorship in nursing programs.
Their goal after graduation is to continue building connections between current SRJC nursing students and RN Residents working in hospitals throughout the region. By fostering a strong sense of community and mentorship within the nursing field, they hope to support students, answer their questions, and help meet the growing need for guidance during this critical transition into practice.
