Congratulations, Chris! We are so proud of you! 🥳

Class of 2026: When Chris Castaneda-Jaramillo arrived at IU South Bend to begin pursuing his nursing degree, he had already earned certifications as a Certified Nursing Assistant, Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, and Phlebotomist and an associate degree in general studies - all before before graduating high school. Now, Chris has added a Bachelor of Science in Nursing to that extensive list of accomplishments.

During his time at IU South Bend, Chris served as Student Liaison for the Student Nurses Association and Public Relations Officer for the Latino Student Union. He was also a 21st Century Scholar and Fellow, earned Dean’s List recognition from 2022–2026, and was inducted into Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing.

Following graduation, Chris plans to begin his career working in the ICU at Elkhart General Hospital.

Join us in celebrating Chris and the Class of 2026! 🎓
