The College of Southern Nevada recently reignited it’s sponsored radio show, “Coyote Conversations,” hosted by Sidney Goodall. The premier episode aired on Monday, July 22, 2024 and featured special guests Kimiko Walton and Keshia Gouveia, who engaged in a lively discussion about all things CSN.

Kimiko Walton, Director of Recruitment and College Connections, emphasized the differences between a community college and a university. “Typically, community colleges aren’t looking at students’ GPAs. They’re not looking for students to have certain SAT or ACT scores. So it just provides a level playing ground for students to be able to receive technical degrees or specific training and skills so that they can perform in the workforce and or transfer to a four-year university. So it caters to all types of students, high school students, traditional students, non-traditional students who are looking for a fresh start or looking for a specific career field. And so here at the College of Southern Nevada, we want to make sure to provide those opportunities regardless of where students are, meeting them where they are,” Walton said.

Keshia Gouveia, a CSN Recruiter, Success Coach and alum, shared her reasons for choosing CSN as her first college experience. “I was astonished by just the diversity and how everybody looked, the age difference, it didn’t matter. I know that was a big thing for me as a non-traditional student,” Gouveia noted.

These are just a few of the highlights from the one-hour show being hosted on KCEP 88.1 every fourth Monday of the month.

“Coyote Conversations” promises to be a vital platform for fostering meaningful discussions within the CSN community. Listeners are encouraged to tune in for future episodes to stay informed and engaged with the latest developments in education and other relevant topics.
