This week in the spotlights is Jalen! Hear all about his journey as a Blue Coat!

“Blue Coats has impacted me by allowing me to see a completely different side of the university beyond just my role as a nursing student. In nursing, I am often focused on clinical performance, exams, and patient care, but Blue Coats has given me the opportunity to represent the university as a whole and connect with alumni, administrators, and prospective students in a more relational way. It reminded me that leadership is not just about clinical competence, but about presence, professionalism, and how you make others feel. Some of my most lasting memories are the friendships I’ve built. Serving alongside other driven, passionate students who genuinely love UWG has pushed me to grow both personally and professionally. The conversations before events, the shared responsibility during networking functions, and the pride we feel when representing the university have created bonds that will last well beyond graduation. Blue Coats didn’t just expand my campus involvement, it expanded my perspective and my community.”

After graduation, Jalen plans on beginning his career in the ICU to continue building his critical care knowledge and hands-on experience. He wants to strengthen his clinical judgment, manage high-acuity patients, and grow confident in complex decision-making. His long-term goal is to continue advancing within critical care as he expand his skills and professional opportunities.
