This August, West Coast University-Ontario was filled with excitement as the June 2024 cohort returned to campus for Diploma Pick-up Day.
This event marked a significant milestone for the recent graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program, as they reunited with their peers to celebrate their hard-earned achievements.
Since launching the Diploma Day event, WCU-Ontario Career Services has continually evolved to better support graduates. Recently, the team began inviting employers to assist graduates who may still be seeking employment. Representatives from prominent healthcare organizations including San Gabriel Valley Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente, Corona Regional Medical Center, and Arrowhead Regional Medical Center were present to discuss career opportunities and offer insights into the industry.
“It was wonderful to see our recent graduates back on campus,” WCU-Ontario Career Services Director Mercedes Garner said. “The enthusiasm from graduates, students, and employers was amazing. Events like this not only provide a crucial networking opportunity for our graduates but also serve to motivate upcoming students. We often hear from students nearing the end of their program asking when they will have their own Diploma Day!”
