CSN Turns 55: Help Us Tell the Story

CSN is turning 55 this year, and the team behind the celebration wants to make sure the story is told right.

A 55th anniversary campaign is currently in development and set to launch early this summer. It will feature a timeline of key milestones dating back to 1971, along with a testimonial section spotlighting alumni and the moments that shaped their lives. The goal is to capture not just the history of the institution, but the history of every program within it.

To do that, the communications team needs help from the people who know those programs best: faculty and staff.

“Every department at this college has a story worth telling,” said Jessica Laessig, Communications Manager. “We want to make sure none of those stories get left out.”

Faculty and staff are encouraged to contribute in two ways. First, by sharing key historical dates tied to their program, such as when it was established, major accreditations or funding milestones, or any significant achievements from the past five-plus decades. Second, by connecting the team with alumni who would be willing to share a short testimonial and photo for the campaign.

No contribution is considered too small. A single date, a name, a memory, all of it helps build a fuller picture of what CSN has been and where it’s headed.

The campaign is one part of a broader effort to mark the college’s 55th anniversary with programming and content that reflects the depth of its impact across Southern Nevada. Faculty and staff who want to contribute can reach out directly to Jessica.Laessig@csn.edu
