From Sept. 9-13, 2024, CSN will actively participate in National HSIs Week, an observance called upon by the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities. The week recognizes the vital contributions of the 572 Hispanic-Serving Institutions across the nation, including CSN, for their essential role in educating and empowering Hispanic youth.

CSN’s participation will feature a series of collaborative events designed to celebrate and reflect on its journey as an HSI. Key events include the CSN HSI Journey Symposium on Tuesday, Sept. 10, from 2-4 p.m. at the North Las Vegas Campus in the June Whitley Student Lounge. This symposium will explore the college’s ongoing commitment to serving its Hispanic community.

Additionally, CSN will partner with Nevada State University on the Latinx Community Social, providing a vibrant space for students, faculty and community members to connect and celebrate their cultural heritage.

The week will also include a UNLV lecture by Dr. Marla Franco, vice president of Hispanic Serving Initiatives at the University of Arizona, on Thursday, Sept. 12, from 4:30-5 p.m. at the UNLV Student Union.

The culminating event will be a discussion on the Ascent to Excellence as an HSI via zoom on Friday, Sept. 13, 2024, from 12:30-1:15 p.m.
