The 51�ԹϺ��� Athletics program received a $1.05 million donation for its “Rebel Up” campaign. The donation is thanks to Diana Bennett. 51�ԹϺ��� Athletics says Bennett served as the chair of the 51�ԹϺ��� Foundation Board of Trustees from 2020-2022 and has been a board member since 2008. The donation will establish the creation of the Diana Bennett Career Development Program for Women’s Sports.

A gaming executive has committed over $1 million to help launch a new career development program at 51�ԹϺ��� for women student-athletes.

51�ԹϺ��� united the Las Vegas community for a weekend of family fun. The university kicked off a variety of events on Saturday to give back to those in need and celebrate its many students. Staff and student-athletes joined forces for the Build a Bed Project. The partnership with "Sleep in Heavenly Peace" helped provide beds for over 4,000 underprivileged kids in Clark County and enforced their motto of "No Kid Sleeps on the Floor in our Town."

The resources include a mental health reimbursement program.

The building will have full-time security this fall following a campus shooting.
