Dear CSN Family,

I am pleased to announce that Ruben Kihuen has accepted the position of Executive Director, Government Affairs, for CSN. Mr. Kihuen joins CSN on March 11 after years of government and community service. He served as Nevada’s congressional representative in the 4th District from 2017 to 2019, and was a member of the Nevada Assembly and Senate from 2006 to 2016. He is a graduate of Rancho High School, was a student at CSN and worked as student recruiter and academic advisor here before earning his bachelor’s degree and Master of Public Administration at UNLV.

Mr. Kihuen brings a wealth of knowledge about government affairs to CSN, where he will act as an advocate for our students, faculty and staff. A native of Guadalajara, Mexico, he has served on many boards and committees in our community, and has for the past several years worked in both the healthcare and immigrant advocacy fields.

Please join me in welcoming Mr. Kihuen to our family.

Federico
