UNLV wants a floor in downtown Las Vegas’s new $190 million Civic Center. The school plans to feature a “Rebel One Stop” to help with admissions, financial aid and advising. UNLV will also have a Cyber Clinic for online safety, programs with the Boyd School of Law and other ties with local governments.

Clark County fatalities down 25 from last year as enforcement, road design improvements show results

Days after a new fence was installed along Boulder Highway between Desert Inn and Flamingo, a driver drove right through it and tore a new hole. The hole serves as the latest in a series of challenges for the project, which sought out the new fencing to repair other holes ripped by previous drivers.

As he walked outside the Thomas & Mack Center after Saturday morning’s UNLV spring commencement ceremony, new graduate Miguel Cerda said he felt pride and a sense of relief.

The corridor, roughly 530 yards long, has a posted speed limit of 45 mph and no marked crosswalks between 28th Street and Mojave Road. Police said all three pedestrians were taken to University Medical Center following the crashes. Doctors at UMC see the consequences firsthand of crashes around the valley, not just on East Charleston.

A metal fence installed along a deadly stretch of Boulder Highway has dropped pedestrian deaths from five per year to zero on that portion, prompting officials to expand the safety project.

The speed limit along that stretch of Charleston Boulevard is 45 mph. Data from the Traffic Safety Research Group at UNLV shows the risk of death for pedestrians increases sharply as speeds rise.

UNLV says recent data shows the state is filling only about 71% of its open cybersecurity jobs, slightly behind the national average. Through this institute, students get hands-on learning experience combing through vulnerabilities businesses could have when it comes to their cybersecurity.

While neighbors and advocates have been pushing for a crosswalk since March, a traffic safety expert said a different option may be under consideration by the Nevada Department of Transportation.

It’s a chance for engineering students to showcase their creativity at UNLV’s senior design competition. They are thinking outside the box and focusing on sustainability and water conservation.

Nearly 200 students across 47 teams put their classroom knowledge to the test, presenting their technology advancement ideas to a panel of industry judges.
