Great Basin College hosted the United States Department of Education and the White House Initiative on American Indian and Alaska Native Education Back-to-School Bus Tour in September. The Great Basin Roundtable Discussion on Indian Education featured stakeholders from tribal, state, district, school and community levels from Nevada and other western states. Assistant Secretary of Education, Deb Delisle commented on the effective and important work being accomplished between Great Basin College, regional school districts and communities. 

Great Basin College

Minority enrollments at Great Basin College exceed the demographic of its service area. Since 2000, minority enrollments have increased by eight percentage points, now nearly 23% of the student population.

CSN Students

More Latino and female students graduate with a 2-year degree in science technology related fields at the College of Southern Nevada than anywhere in the United States.

College of Southern Nevada

At the College of Southern Nevada, 13% of Nevada’s Latinos have a 2-year degree or higher compared to 29% of all adults. As the largest college in Nevada, the College of Southern Nevada can help change this.

CSN

The College of Southern Nevada is proud to be the most diverse higher education institution in Nevada with no ethnic majority among its student body.

Clinton / Obama

I always thought that President Clinton was the most intelligent, best read and best educated of any of the 43 presidents through his administration.  I’m told that as brilliant as Clinton is that those around him always had to deal with his ego which in some instances got in the way of his intellect.  Those same people tell me that Obama may actually be smarter than Clinton but that the great advantage in dealing with Obama, is that his ego never gets in the way.  I feel very comfortable with Barack Obama as President.  He’s smart enough, sound enough, thoughtful enough and energetic enough to help solve this country’s social and economic problems.

Qualifications

Take a look at the qualifications, including education and experience, of the commentators on MSNBC and then compare those qualifications to those of the commentators on Fox and other lunatic conservatives like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.  Rachel Maddow is a Stanford graduate, a Rhodes Scholar and has a PhD from Oxford University.  Lawrence O’Donnell is also a Harvard graduate.  Chris Matthews is a graduate of a top 20 university and worked for leaders of the House and Senate for many years.  Glenn Beck never graduated from high school.  Rush Limbaugh flunked out of a mediocre university and the rest of the crowd certainly does not have a Rhodes Scholar.  How can anyone listen to the total lack of intelligent thinking exhibited by some commentators?
