UNLV announced it will create a new institute dedicated to the study of Chinese language and culture after receiving a $15 million donation from Las Vegas Sands. The Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents last week formally approved the new Sands Institute for Chinese Language and Culture at UNLV.

When someone says they’re from Las Vegas, where do they specifically mean? The majority of the Valley lives in one of the adjacent municipalities or unincorporated Clark County. So how did we get this weird patchwork of townships and jurisdictions, and how did it set up the city and the county for their many tensions today?

In a moving display of perseverance and memorialization, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) campus has brought forth an art installation breathing new life into the entrances of Frank and Estella Beam Hall. A series of six murals, crafted by students of the university, now stands as a tribute to the lives lost in the December 6 campus shooting, according to a report from FOX5 Vegas. The art pieces, each positioned on pillars outside the hall, invite passersby to reflect on the tragedy while embracing a message of resilience and healing.

The tribute seeks to remember the colleagues, professors, and mentors lost on December 6, 2023: Professors Jerry Cha-Jan Chang, Patricia Navarro Vélez, and Naoko Takemaru. It also aims to honor the many lives forever affected and to commemorate the resilience and strength that characterizes this university community.
