If you happened to be on CSN’s North Las Vegas campus last Friday, you probably heard the music and the unmistakable buzz of curiosity in the air. That’s because more than 320 guests, including 149 potential students, turned out for the fall CSN Open House to see what being a Coyote is all about.

The afternoon had everything: campus tours every 30 minutes, food trucks serving up local favorites, games and activities, and live music courtesy of Fiesta Radio. Inside, students and their families checked out academic demos, chatted with professors, and explored career options across dozens of CSN programs — from automotive tech and business to media, nursing, and the arts.

“CSN Open House gathered together multiple academic and support departments to show our Las Vegas community what a future as a CSN Coyote can look like,” said CSN Recruiter Erika Hamilton. “Being able to spend a few hours on a Friday, exploring options with their families by touring the campus, attending workshops, and talking to CSN staff helps put into perspective the college experience. My hope is that by taking that time, we at CSN have helped guide a student towards a future that they are excited to pursue.”

By the end of the day, future students left with plenty of swag, new information about programs and scholarships and maybe even a little motivation to make their “someday” college dream happen sooner than later.

Not a bad way to spend a Friday afternoon.
