Welcome
UNLV’s Office of Community Engagement seeks to support, facilitate, and promote collaboration, partnership, and engagement between the university and its many communities.
UNLV is a proud recipient of the 2020 Carnegie Community Engagement Classification, a national distinction honoring the university for its exemplary community engagement practices. UNLV was one of only 119 institutions to receive this classification in 2020.
Ways to Engage
Virtually every unit, department, and group on the UNLV campus offers something for the community. Whether you are a nonprofit, government or business, an individual or family, a student, or faculty/staff, the opportunities to connect and collaborate abound.
