In The News: Office of the President
Another semester wraps up at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ and that means graduation for hundreds of students.
51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s fall semester ended on a tragic note, but this week many students chose to come together to overcome this tragedy and preserve and celebrate their accomplishments.
Less than two weeks after an unthinkable tragedy struck 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s campus, the university held two winter commencement ceremonies Tuesday.
51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ's winter commencement just wrapped up at the Thomas & Mack Center. This comes as the community continues to reel from the mass shooting there on campus on Dec. 6.
Next Tuesday and Wednesday, 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ will conclude the fall semester with commencement ceremonies at Thomas & Mack Center, and President Dr. Keith E. Whitfield announced that enhanced security measures will be in place following a recent mass shooting on campus that killed three professors and injured a fourth.
51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ is kicking off the giving season with a fan-favorite celebration.
State regents recognized the chief and officers of University Police Services following their response to the mass shooting on the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ campus last week.
It’s been nearly a week since three professors were killed following a deadly shooting on the campus of the University of Las Vegas, Nevada.
51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s Rebel Football team is heading to the Mountain West Championship game against the Boise State Broncos. Las Vegas Sun reporter Mike Grimala goes over what made this season so successful and what to expect for the game. Then Riana Durrett joins us to discuss the new 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Cannabis Policy Institute. She shares how this institute will help Nevada’s growing cannabis industry.
Nevada’s Board of Regents on Friday voted unanimously to raise tuition and fees by 5% to help pay for 11% raises for professional employees at the state’s universities, colleges and research institutes.
The medicinal and recreational use of legal cannabis is still relatively new in Nevada, where lawful sales debuted in 2017, and the regulation of consumption lounges is being worked through. That’s part of the reason why 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ created its Cannabis Policy Institute, which is believed to be the first of its kind in Nevada and possibly in the United States.
