Every year, the UNLV Alumni Association honors Rebels who stand out because of their impressive accomplishments — from reaching the top of their fields to overcoming life’s biggest hurdles.
This year's honorees will take center stage at the annual awards program May 12, 2016. The night will be filled with inspiring stories of how UNLV impacted the lives of our honorees as well as a red carpet-style arrival, cocktail hour, and hors d’oeuvres.
