The 2017 TechConnect event, the largest recruiting engagement for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas’ Howard Hughes College of Engineering, may have filled the gap for employers seeking entry- and graduate-level workers in science technology engineering and math fields in Southern Nevada.

With Israeli and Greek fraternity flags held high, nearly 200 UNLV students and local Jewish community leaders marched in solidarity through the central valley on Monday to protest recent acts of anti-Semitism in Las Vegas and across the United States.

The march was as much an act of unity as it was a demonstration against hate. Nearly 200-members of the Las Vegas Jewish community walked and chanted, 'No more hate!', along a 2-mile stretch of Harmon Avenue, until finally arriving at the campus of UNLV.

During the Smart Cities Hackathon organized by media platform ReadWrite held in conjunction with CES this past January, more than 300 developers and designers from around the globe participated in the competition for a $10,000 grand prize.

In a twist for Martian meteorite studies, it turns out their mineral composition may show that the Red Planet was wet and possibly habitable in the past. It's the opposite of what researchers thought based on past examinations of meteorites, which hinted at a dry and dusty history.
