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.

There's still about a month left of school in the Vegas Valley, and 347 students have been hit going to and from school. Four children have died. These are Clark County School District, private school, and charter school students, as well as children too young to attend school.
With so many academic programs for cybersecurity still playing catch-up, the bipartisan, bicameral Cyber Ready Workforce Act would create a grant program to support registered cybersecurity apprenticeships.

With gas prices still high, everyone is doing what they can to save at the pump — including carpooling. A number of carpooling apps have given commuters new options, like Carpool Connect, which is available for UNLV students and staff.

After the state of Nevada suffered a massive cyber attack that caused major issues across a number of government agencies, UNLV has now set its sights on training students to monitor future potential threats. Last month, the university established the NIC. The goal is training the next generation of IT professionals. It also acts as a hub to serve state industries and government offices, helping them secure their data.
