| National searches for new vice presidential leaders concluded successfully with the selection of two veteran administrators from Utah and California. CCSN President Dr. Richard Carpenter named Dr. Michael Richards as Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dr. Arthur Byrd as Vice President of Student Affairs.
Student Affairs Reorganization In the wake of changes making for greater efficiencies and productivity in human resources, continuing education and customized training operations, and the selection of new vice presidents for Academic Affairs and Student Affairs, CCSN President Richard Carpenter also announced planned changes in functional areas. "College plans will be dynamic and fluid to mesh with changing environments and faculty input," he said. The new Student Affairs structure affords flexibility to allow for small plan alterations and a dynamic organizational structure. Vice President Dr. Arthur Byrd’s executive team includes: Ann Johnson, Interim Executive Dean of Student Affairs; Cipriano Chavez, Dean of Student Affairs for Cheyenne Campus; Chemene Crawford, Interim Dean of Student Affairs for Charleston; and Larry Mason, Dean of Student Affairs for Henderson. According to Dr. Carpenter, the changes are meant to increase focus and teamwork - and not only reinforce, but increase focus on being student centered and add consistency in services students experience from campus to campus. |

Chancellor
James E. Rogers, Nevada System of Higher Education, used his keynote
address to remind graduates that education is lifelong and so should
their commitment be to CCSN if higher education is to flourish in Nevada.
"If you have pride in your school and value your degree, treat
the relationship like a marriage -- committing to it for the rest of
your life. Otherwise, without private financial support to supplement
tax dollars, there be a slow deterioration of public higher education,"
he warned. 
Three CCSN members received awards of excellence at the recent fifth annual Nevada Community Colleges Conference in Carson City this spring. Dr. Richard Carpenter singled out author and English Professor H. Lee Barnes, International Students Director Anneli Adams and Music Program Assistant Earl Somerville for presidential excellence awards. Prof. Barnes received the honor for teaching excellence and Adams for administrative excellence; Somerville was cited for his work performance as a classified staff member. Begun in 2001, the annual gathering enables Nevada’s two-year college educators and administrators to share ideas, innovations and initiatives that lead to serving Nevada citizens with high quality and affordable higher education. This year’s event was hosted at Western Nevada Community College with a challenging, but rewarding agenda. It examined: linking assessment and faculty development, approaches to online courses, securing federal funding, retaining students in nursing, detecting and preventing electronic plagiarism, better reading performance, building learning communities and strategic learning centers, rethinking student career decision-making, and developing a college vision of excellence.
He motivates students to perform on a very high intellectual and creative level; as proof, occasionally their literary brilliance makes the pages of CCSN’s prestigious literary journal, the Red Rock Review. He devotes countless hours contributing to RRR’s national success, the college’s poetry series, readings at the Vegas Valley Book Festival, writing workshops for senior citizens and lecturing at UNLV and UNR. Prof. Barnes enhances CCSN’s national reputation and underscores CCSN’s goal to remain an academically outstanding community college.
She directs
CCSN’s International Center, managing marketing efforts to attract
foreign students who now number 700 from 60 nations. She also oversees
the center’s registration, counseling and orientation of students
and CCSN’s compliance with federal visa regulations. At a time
when international student enrollment at American schools is down, CCSN
is growing, reflecting the college’s cultural diversity and Las
Vegas’ internationalism as a global destination. Through her leadership,
CCSN’s international studies program is ranked 31st largest in
the 2004 Open Doors Report after a 2003 showing of 37th when it first
broke into the Top 40 Associate’s Degree List of Institutions.
Through his gentle good humor and wonderful humanity, he has become a unique college resource. His helpful attitude and spirit create a talent for solving a problem before it becomes one. He brings his best to work at the college every day and brings out the best in students and faculty alike. In so many ways, he has become a unique resource at CCSN, helping to define the “Students First” climate through his “ambassador of goodwill” approach in representing CCSN’s music program.

Recognized
as one of CCSN’s best teachers, Prof. Barnes
is among the top two percent of teachers in the nation, based on his
selection for Who’s Who Among American Teachers in four of the
past five years. Among his works as a nationally acclaimed author are
Gunning for Ho: Vietnam Stories, Dummy Up and Deal and
The Lucky. It is the fruit of that reputation he shares semester
after semester with his creative writing students – and at times
in between as well. He recently spent a sabbatical developing a two
year college creative writing program to enable students to graduate
from CCSN with a major in creative writing and advance their talents
in university creative writing studies.
Finnish
born Anneli Adams worked for the U.S. Embassy in Helsinki
for 20 years before joining CCSN in 2001, six days after the 9-11 terrorist
attacks. Earning numerous honors and awards, she served as a consular
official and administered public diplomacy and academic and cultural
exchange programs. She earned her master’s in education at the
University of Helsinki and is pursuing a doctorate in higher education
leadership from UNLV. 
Music
Program Assistant Earl Somerville’s official
job is to assist in the operations of the music program, making every
possible preparation to support teaching faculty and students. His demanding
tasks include scheduling practice rooms and recital halls, managing
equipment inventory, and preparing concerts and performance events.
With a master’s degree in music and experience as a performing
musician with nearly every woodwind instrument, Somerville also enjoys
teaching part-time at CCSN.
The Nevada Board of Regents named honorees for the 2005 Regent Awards. Counselor Carmen Annillo and sociology student Edward Needham earned the Regents’ Academic Advisors Award and Regents’ Scholar Award respectively.

Maggie
SlomkaA Nevada firefighter, paramedic and fire science
technology program director for the Community College of Southern Nevada
recently achieved 20 years as a nationally registered emergency medical
technician. The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT)
recognized Henderson Fire Captain Bruce Evans for his distinction and
efforts to enhance his knowledge and lifesaving skills. He is among
a select and small number of EMTs with the most training in pre-hospital
emergency care in the U.S. Annually, only 500 or so achieve the 20-year benchmark. Evans is one of only four such professionals named in Nevada for the last year. To enhance his competency in life saving skills and maintain his registration, he completed the most comprehensive recertification program for EMTs every two years.
While attending college at Iowa State to become a forest ranger, he witnessed a car wreck in front of his fraternity house. “I went out to help, but was frustrated not knowing what to do,” said Evans. “My folks were volunteers with the local ambulance in our hometown and got me a job as the lead EMT during the day.” After attending EMT school, he joined a small police department-based ambulance team for the summer. “I loved it – being part of a team that made a difference in people’s lives. When I returned to Iowa State in the fall, I also enrolled in paramedic school at night.” In 1985, he was recruited to Mercy Ambulance in Las Vegas and three years later the Henderson Fire Department hired him to start its first paramedic services. He is assigned to Station House 94 at Valle Verde and Warm Springs, one of Henderson’s busiest and closely connected to its neighborhoods. Moments he proudly remembers include his team saving a child from drowning and saving a child with a congenital heart defect. CCSN EMS students often ride along as part of the hands-on training environment Evans fosters. “With his high standards and national reputation, Bruce Evans helped created one of Nevada’s great public safety resources and develop a priceless humanitarian profession,” said CCSN President Dr. Richard Carpenter. “He brought the fire science program in line with the National Fire Academy’s model course curriculum and grew the professional staffs of local fire departments by building CCSN enrollment from 80 to 300-plus full-time equivalent students. He even secured over $100,000 in grant money to enhance our career training programs in fire science and emergency medical services.” In 1992, Evans earned a bachelor of science degree in education from UNLV and the next year achieved an associate degree in fire science from CCSN. In 1996, with his UNLV master’s in public administration, he also began teaching for the National Fire Academy and often speaks at various state and national conferences. He has headed CCSN’s program based at the Henderson Campus since 1998 and received instructor of the year honors from the Henderson Chamber of Commerce.
