The Silver Jubilarians of Riverside College Nursing Class ’96 converged in Las Vegas, Nevada last August 21-22 to celebrate their 25th year reunion. They explored the Red Rock Canyon, had fun shooting at Sloan Gun Range, toured around Las Vegas Strip, ate at Jollibee, Las Vegas and watched the boxing game of Manny Pacquiao. They spent the weekend reminiscing their college days and graduation ceremony way back in 1996 at the open quadrangle. They brought everyone “pasalubongs” a representation of their current location. Riverside College is proud of what they have become as they continue to serve in the different fields of the Nursing profession all over the world.
