The College of Southern Nevada recently reignited its 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 discussion about various aspects of 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 alumna 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 didn’t matter. I know that was a big thing for me as a non-traditional student,” Gouveia noted.
These are just a few highlights from the one-hour show being hosted on KCEP 88.1 every fourth Monday of the month.
“Coyote Conversations” promises to be an important 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.
For those who missed the live broadcast, the full episode of “Coyote Conversations” is available for streaming online.
