Dear Regents,
As we approach the culmination of another academic year and its high point, our Commencement Ceremony, I wanted to take a moment to share with you some of the exciting news happening at the College of Southern Nevada.
The longer I am here, the more I fall in love with CSN and this community. We are truly an integral part of Southern Nevada, from our workforce development efforts and community outreach, to our academic excellence in educating thousands of transfer students and graduates each and every semester. I don’t believe Las Vegas would be what it is today without the synergy it has with CSN and NSHE as a whole.
For that, I thank you. Your support of this institution in good times and bad does not go unnoticed. Indeed, you are changing lives every day. Simply browsing the stories below would tell the most disinterested observer that most of the good news at CSN wouldn’t happen without the support of our state and our elected Board of Regents. I hope you see yourselves in the smiling faces of our student success stories, including student athletes, amazing graduates, and those already in the workforce.
We have stories touching on our Northwest Campus, our Career Services programs, our partnership with the City of Las Vegas, and so much more.
Again, thank you for your support of CSN, our students, and our community.
– Stacy

From Service to Scholarship: Military Community Keeps the Mission Going
May is Military Appreciation Month, and CSN has plenty to celebrate. Right now, more than 812 veterans are enrolled and using their VA education benefits at CSN. Add in 817 military dependents, and that's more than 1,600 service-connected students building their futures through higher education. Women make up nearly a quarter of that veteran population, with 199 female veterans currently enrolled, reflecting the growing and vital role women play across all branches. Those numbers tell a story, and so do the people behind them.
