Dear CSN Family,
I want to formally invite you to the 48th Annual CSN Commencement Ceremony! The virtual ceremony will take place at 1 p.m. Saturday, December 19, on our website, our Facebook page or our YouTube page. Among our distinguished speakers will be Student Commencement Speaker Krista McFarling-Kelly, NSHE Chancellor Dr. Melody Rose, and, as keynote speaker, Gov. Steve Sisolak.
We are excited that we will be able to honor the Class of 2020 in the midst of a challenging year. We have all experienced canceled events, weeks and months on end of stay-home orders, and safety protocols we had no idea were coming at the start of this incredible year. All of you have risen to the occasion and taken the opportunity to learn and grow.
The Class of 2020 is the absolute embodiment of success in the face of adversity. Every story is unique. Every journey has been different. But the common threads have been, and will always be, determination, courage and the steadfast support of the CSN community.
It is my pleasure to extend a heartfelt thanks the CSN faculty and staff who have provided a solid foundation for students to achieve their ultimate goal of graduation. Thank you for putting students first. Thank you for developing creative solutions to help our community thrive. Thank you for remaining optimistic in our most challenging times.
I invite you to join me in cheering our graduates’ success and anticipating what they will accomplish in the weeks, months and years ahead. I couldn’t be prouder knowing that their time with us here at CSN has helped shaped who they will become.
Congratulations Class of 2020!
Federico Zaragoza
