Dear Campus Community:

I hope the semester is starting off very well for everyone!

On behalf of the College of Fine Arts, I am delighted to share news of a new project that we are launching this semester. In the spirit of One UNLV, and with the goal of bringing members of our campus community together through a celebration of the arts, we are inviting all faculty and staff on campus to join us as our guests at selected performing arts events throughout this 2025-26 academic year.

We are starting this project with three events during the fall semester and then will follow up with three events in the spring. I am announcing the three fall events now, and the three spring events will be announced in January, 2026. Each faculty and staff member, after responding to this invitation with an RSVP for the event of your choice, will be gifted 2 complimentary tickets for the academic year. The tickets will arrive to you electronically, to your UNLV email address.

Faculty & Staff Appreciation Events, with Meet and Greet Receptions one-hour prior, including refreshments, planned before the events.
