Here's What People Are Saying About Us!

 “For my online courses, I provide detailed notes, specific textbook and Internet assignments, online office hours, and timely replies to messages.  In general, I am fortunate to be one CSN's many talented and caring faculty members who teach online courses, and, more importantly, I enjoy helping students learn mathematics - through any medium.”  
Jim Matovina, Professor of Mathematics

“It is really satisfying to see our former students – who went through the competition, won scholarships, graduated our program and are now successful professional certified technicians – come back and serve as Automotive Skills Competition judges.”
Paul Pate, Associate Dean of Applied Technologies

“Working in the horticulture industry while taking CSN courses I was able to apply the knowledge to actual practice and feel confident that I knew what to do in different situations. Now that I’ve graduated I enjoy visiting Richard Reitz’s horticulture classes to speak about what’s happening at the Wynn and how I’m using my horticulture degree.”
Teresa Ellison, Class of ‘03, Director of Horticulture, Wynn Resorts

“Nelson Mandela said it best, "Education is the most powerful weapon in which you can use to change the world" or change someone's life.  You're never too old to learn.  I was very impressed by the organization of the Science Department and staff.  Most places say they want to help you, but CSN follows through with its promises.  This is my second home.”
David Kennedy, CSN Student

“It doesn’t matter how long it takes you to get your degree. What matters is that you get it.”
Noe Alcala, Class of ‘04, Executive Chef, Pink Taco

“I immigrated to the United States in 1995 from Eritrea, East Africa. I attended Purdue University and discovered that I had difficulty with time-management and study skills. I learned to overcome these deficiencies at CSN after being invited to participate in undergraduate research. I have served as a Chemistry Tutor, a Chemistry Lab Assistant, and a Student Senator and now I am back on track toward my goal of attending Pharmacy School and becoming a Pharmacist.”
Ezekiel A. Gebrekidane, Tutor at the Math and Science Resource Center

“In December 2005 CSN was ranked number one among 2,000 schools in online automotive environmental and safety testing. This honor means CSN is educating even better prepared automotive technicians to serve dealerships, vehicle service and repair centers, and Nevada’s driving public.”
Dr. Chris Kelly, Dean of CSN's Division of Business, Industry & Public Safety
