Mental Wellness
Mental wellness has been a priority since President Whitfield joined UNLV during the pandemic. The president held a mental health town hall and resource fair in 2023, and continues to foster an environment that provides an opportunity to build connections and find compassionate support to positively impact mental health and well-being.

STEAM Education
Science, engineering, and technology plays an important role in improving population well-being and addressing numerous current and future challenges.
