If any good has come of the tumultuous political climate, it’s motivated people to take action—and use the act of visibility to counter hate against the marginalized. Two recent rallies involving non-Christian religious communities followed suit over the past week—one in a show of peace, the other fighting back (albeit peacefully) against scare tactics levied against it.

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.

University of Nevada Las Vegas students and local Jewish community leaders are calling for an end to recent acts of anti-Semitism in Las Vegas and across the United States.

To create a safe city, a quick hack can keep the lights on.
That is exactly what a team of UNLV students and grads accomplished during a smart city competition at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last month.

Sometimes it pays to be creative.

Team Wingin’ It — which comprises UNLV graduate students Maria Ramos Gonzalez and Ernesto Zamora, computer science/engineering alumni Saju Varghese and Ruben Medina, and their friend Derek Jewell — beat 28 other teams to win the $10,000 grand prize at a life-hack competition held during this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

They came for the swag and the fun.

But they left with a $10,000 grand prize and the chance to make Las Vegas a smarter city.

For many students, stress is simply part of college life — as unavoidable as tuition, fees and final exams. And the number of students flooding university counseling centers suggest stress levels on campuses may be rising.

College campuses are supposed to be bastions of open expression. But during the recent presidential campaign rules to keep debate orderly at UNLV led to fractious discourse and left some students wondering where they could speak freely and safely.

Wednesday marked move-in day for students living on campus. This year, more than 1,900 students will live in UNLV residence halls, which are packed to capacity and subject to waiting lists, according to the university.

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas is welcoming the largest incoming class in its history.

You can excuse dad James Hardwick if he has a lump in his throat. He's dropping his only child, his baby girl, off at college. She's one of the approximately 4,000 freshmen at UNLV this year.
