Last week, a huge group of CSN students and CSN personnel traveled to Carson City to advocate for our college on CSN Day at the Legislature. 

The students — 73 in all — participated in question & answer sessions with Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford and Carson City Mayor Lori Bagwell. Some were able to sit on the Assembly Floor next to a member of the Assembly while others sat in the Assembly gallery. They got tours of the Nevada Supreme Court and City Hall. They also engaged in a panel with four registered lobbyists. 

The purpose of the trip was, as always, for CSN students to learn about and experience the world they’re living in. But it was also to advocate for themselves and their college. 

CSN Day at the Legislature has been a tradition now for the last few sessions, and we plan on keeping it up. The more legislators hear from our students, the more they’ll understand their communities.
