Our Story

CSN Connections began as a new tradition designed to spark excitement for the semester and immerse students in the Coyote experience. What started as a single event has grown into a beloved, semesterly celebration embraced by new and returning students alike. Want to explore more after Connections? Check in with First Year Experience anytime during the semester to say hi or broaden your connection to campus.

Created by the Coyote community, Connections thrives thanks to collaboration across CSN's three main campuses—including ASCSN Student Government, the Office of the President, Athletics, Student Affairs, and many more departments committed to building a vibrant student event.

Be There. Be Connected. Be Coyote.

Fall 2026 starts with you—don’t miss the event that brings the entire CSN community together.
