  • Career exploration
  • Study groups
  • Time management, study skills, general education workshops
  • Avoiding procrastination
  • Reducing school stress
  • Getting involved in student/campus life at Sacramento State

  • Resources and tools for course planning/scheduling
  • Referral to faculty with relevant academic and/or career information
  • Campus resources available to support academic, personal and career development

Peer mentors have been through the college transition and know some of the challenges you may be facing. Conversations with peer mentors are confidential unless there is a danger to self or others.

FASH Mentor: Nathan Nepomuceno

Hi, everyone! I'm a first-gen student in my senior year at Sacramento State! If all goes well this semester and next semester, then I'll be graduating in the Spring with a degree in Fashion and Merchandising. Apart from attending class, my hobbies include playing video games, watching anime, listening to music, and being a total foodie. I declared Fashion and Merchandise Management as my major because of Taylor Anderson who taught FASH 30 when she changed my whole perspective on fashion as an industry and a lifestyle. I'm looking forward to working with all of you and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the Fashion department!
