We are proud that our academics draw upon the influences of our community, and offer an education like nowhere else.
From the President
"Did you know the UNLV Food Pantry collected over 30,000 pounds of food donations last year? Thanks to Student Affairs and the School of Public Health, this resource supports the UNLV community year-round to help students, faculty, staff, and their families."
A Worldwide Destination
Dripping in the golden desert sun and spread across 335 acres in the heart of Las Vegas, UNLV provides nowhere-else opportunities in this 24-hour metropolis. And while Las Vegas might be the center of it all, it doesn't take long to slip the bonds of this little oasis and get out into the desert, as we are just minutes from natural getaways and less than a day's drive from the entire American Southwest.
Hieu Nguyen Quote
"Living in the international city of Las Vegas, I have experienced diverse cultures both on campus and around town. The opportunity to connect with people from around the world has made me more aware and understanding of traditions and ways of life. Being culturally intelligent is especially beneficial in the hospitality industry."Hieu Nguyen - Major: Hospitality Management; Hometown: Hanoi, Vietnam
