HENDERSON (KTNV) — July 1 marks the one year anniversary for Nevada State as a university.

The formerly named Nevada State College made the transition to a university last July after Governor Joe Lombardo signed the unanimously passed Senate Bill 273 into law.

Back in May, the four-year, public institution celebrated its first graduating Class of 2024 as a university—conferring more than 840 degrees to 822 graduates across more than 65 majors and minors.

“It’s been a momentous year for Nevada State University, as we stand on the threshold of a bright and expansive future, providing a more affordable and flexible path to higher education,” said Nevada State University President Dr. DeRionne Pollard. “Becoming a university has empowered us to continue broadening our horizons and deepening our commitment to academic excellence while forging paths for the next generation of students.”

While Nevada State may hold the new university title, the higher education institution has served Nevadans for more than 20 years.

The university said among their more than 8,500 alumni, 80 percent remain in the state in critical workforce roles such as teachers and nurses.

“Being part of the first graduating class since Nevada State transitioned from a college to a university was such an honor,” said Trinity Stewart, a Nevada State University alumna. “My experience at Nevada State was nothing short of rewarding and I’m grateful for the education that I received.”

The College of Southern Nevada (CSN) has installed a Solid State Logic Duality Fuse SuperAnalogue console in the main control room at the Recording Studio Facilities at its North Las Vegas Campus. The 48-channel Duality Fuse, which came online for the 2023 fall semester, is being used to instruct students enrolled in the Audio Recording Technology Program at the college, which attracts more than 30,000 students annually to its three campuses in and around Las Vegas.

We asked John Jacobson, audio recording technology program coordinator,
College of Southern Nevada, the details of the installation.

Solid State Logic and College of Nevada: 5 Things to Know

SCN: How long did the project take from start to finish? 

John Jacobson: This project was to do a complete renovation and upgrade of the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) Recording Studio’s main control room. [It was] about three months from first totally emptying the Recording Studio Control Room and having it refurbished, installing the new Solid State Logic (SSL) Duality Fuse 48-Channel console, and reinstalling all of the existing gear.

SCN: What was there before and why was change needed? 

JJ: A Solid State Logic (SSL) AWS 900 24-Channel console. We felt the need to upgrade to a model that was newer and had more channels and features.

SCN: Were there any challenges in the installation? If not, what made it so “easy?” 

JJ: Overall, the project went smoothly; it was planned out over many months between [me] and their audio technician Donnie Whitbeck. Support was provided by SSL regarding the Duality Fuse’s wiring needs, and additional concerns were addressed by CSN facilities. The actual install of the Duality Fuse was done by SSL technician Ryan Clifford with assistance from myself, Donnie Whitbeck, and CSN students.

SCN: Why was the Duality Fuse selected? 

JJ: The Duality Fuse is the flagship SSL console and an industry standard, especially in high-end facilities. It was the only one that had the features desired and fit into the available budget. Additionally, its design is similar to the SSL AWS 900 previously used, so we felt the learning curve for both faculty and students would be shortened. 

SCN: What has been the response from the school/students? 

JJ: Fantastic! Its impressive performance and appearance have been embraced by everyone at the college, and students have had little difficulty in understanding the Duality’s features.

NEVADA, MO – When it comes to golf, there really isn’t much Emree Cameron can’t do. The next stop for the Nevada senior is the U.S. Girls Junior Golf Championship.

Picking up the sport at the age of six, Emree began competing at just seven years old. The division one Louisville commit said it’s her younger brother that drives her success.

“I was in the spotlight for awhile, and now he’s playing baseball and it’s his turn,” said Emree.

“I love it, and I want to show him that he can go be successful, and can play his sport long term.”

With Nevada now home, golf takes the Cameron’s from coast to coast.

No matter where Emree goes however, her father, is with her every step of the way. The longtime golfer and former caddie, said he couldn’t be more proud of his daughter.

“It’s hard to put into words how proud I am,” said Eric Cameron.

“When I think about it, it almost brings me to tears, and it just speaks for itself.”

In 2024, Emree is a division one golf commit, and her school’s first ever state champion for girl’s golf. Despite the accolades, Emree would emphasize that her father and family would always be the most important over the course of her career.

“My dad is my number one supporter, and so is everyone in my family,” Emree said.

“I don’t think I would be where I am, and have the mental state with golf right now if it wasn’t for my dad.”

In addition to competing in the U.S. Girls Golf Championship, Cameron will also play in the Junior PGA Championship in Bethesda, Maryland.

The Junior Golf Championships will take place at El Caballero Country Club in California on Monday, July 15th through Saturday, July 20th. The Junior PGA Championship will take place from July 30th through August 2nd.
