CSN Statement on National Developments & Coyote Pride

Greetings CSN Community,

The pursuit of a college education is synonymous with the promise of America – the chance to strive for a better life and seize opportunity. Education has always been hailed as the great equalizer, offering a pathway to lift individuals out of poverty, pave the way for economic advancement, and rewrite the story of their families. This is the mission and purpose of CSN.

Our institution was established to address the pressing education and workforce needs in Nevada, with the aim of creating a stronger and more resilient community, ready to embrace the future potential of our state. We achieve this by understanding and serving our students.

Our students are the future of Nevada, and we are proud to call you part of the CSN family. As we continue to support all within our campus community, we will closely monitor national developments and assess the impact of new policies, provide resources to assist our students and staff, and offer guidance on policy changes.

In the face of uncertainty, CSN remains dedicated to ensuring a campus that is safe and welcoming for all who seek to learn, teach, and grow, recognizing the diversity of the community we serve. Our campus is home to each of you; recognizing that you are from different socio-economic backgrounds; that you range in age from high school age just embarking on your higher education journey to adult learners returning to college; that you may be veterans or you may be working parents; that you are individuals of various faiths; people with different abilities; and that you are learners of every race, ethnicity, gender, identity, and orientation. You are the embodiment of the dreams of those who have gone before you and provide light to those who will follow you. You are our future nurses, educators, builders, scientists, writers, and business and community leaders. And we are proud to call you all Coyotes!

With pride and in the spirit of CSN!

Bill Kibler
Acting President
College of Southern Nevada
