CSN, in partnership with the Nevada Department of Corrections, invites faculty and staff to attend a special showcase on Dec. 5, 2024 at the Florence McClure Women’s Correctional Center. The event will run from 1-4 p.m. and will highlight the work of students completing the Tourism Convention and Event Planning Entry Level Skills Certificate.

This event offers a glimpse into the practical skills these students have gained during their course. It will feature their final projects, including business plans for transitional housing, prison programming, and job placement initiatives. The students have put considerable effort into these presentations, which serve as their final assessments.

The event, titled “A Winter Wonderland, Our Story,” is also an opportunity for CSN to showcase the impact of its Prison Education Program. Dr. Genevieve Minter, the program manager, notes, “This event supports the CSN mission of empowering students and communities to achieve, succeed, and prosper by increasing college access and enhancing equity for our underserved and underprepared students.”

Faculty and staff are encouraged to attend to support the students and learn more about the program. If you plan to attend, please note that a background check is required. For more information or to RSVP, contact Dr. Genevieve Minter at genevieve.minter@csn.edu.

This event is an excellent opportunity to connect with an important part of our student community and see firsthand the positive outcomes of CSN’s educational initiatives.
