Americans love choice. We love the freedom to choose what we want and when we want it. Ford or Chevy, Coke or Pepsi, Apple or Samsung, we thrive on the multitude of options at our fingertips that we feel best meets our needs. The essence of it all is the opportunity we have to choose the type of life we want and how we get there. This is, of course, unless you’re talking about education in the State of Nevada.

The school year couldn’t end without The Associated Students of Western Nevada recognizing some of the outstanding students and faculty/staff members who made 2017-18 so special at Western Nevada College.
