As uncertainty looms surrounding the COVID-19 coronavirus, Nevada colleges and universities are preparing to transition to remote learning.

51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ and UNR will transition to online-only instruction after spring break due to coronavirus fears, the universities said Thursday.

A vibrant, diverse economy requires a trained, educated workforce. A trained, educated workforce capable of taking on the diverse needs of its community requires a system of education designed to meet the needs of individuals and institutions in that economy.

The Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents Thursday approved the broad framework for a new, privately-funded medical school building at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ, subject to mutually-agreed conditions with the project’s donors that require construction to start by Feb. 1 of next year.

The Nevada Board of Regents on Thursday approved the next step in the development of a building for 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ School of Medicine, voting in a favor a plan to allow a nonprofit funded mostly by donors to construct the building at 625 Shadow Lane in the city’s medical district.

Black Fire Innovation, 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s new incubator space for integrated resort technology at the Harry Reid Research & Technology Park., gathered dignitaries last Thursday for the official opening and ribbon-cutting of the debut building at the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Harry Reid Research & Technology Park in Las Vegas.

The push to develop a new 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ School of Medicine building, long hindered by disagreements between the university’s donor community and Nevada higher education officials, could be reaching a conclusion.

The presidents for Nevada’s two Division I universities posted a video urging good sportsmanship for Wednesday night’s game between 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ and UNR at Lawlor Events Center.
