Las Vegas is known for big shows, but in mid-September the spotlight shifted to a different kind of stage the Leadership & Enrichment Seminar 2025 hosted by CSN Funeral Services Program Director Dr. Raymond Giddens, Jr., 8th District Governor of the National Funeral Directors & Morticians Association.

At the Sept. 15 luncheon inside the Downtown Grand Hotel, Dr. Janice Glasper, Dean of the Engelstad School of Health Sciences, and Cassie Gentry, Department Chair for Health Related Professions, introduced guests to CSN’s brand-new Funeral Services Program. The program launched this fall and is already making waves (and maybe raising a few eyebrows) as CSN steps up to train the next generation of professionals in this essential field.

Because let’s face it: death is certain, but a skilled, compassionate workforce doesn’t happen by accident. CSN is making sure Nevada is prepared, with graduates who are equal parts science, service, and heart.
