Special Events

We partner with various UNLV units to foster the growth of our faculty members and further the goals of our university. This includes partnering for special events, such as:

  • New Faculty Orientation: New Faculty Orientation is an annual event held every August that welcomes and onboards full-time faculty to UNLV.
  • The Part-Time Instructors' Reception and Resource Fair: The reception and virtual resource fair are annual events that welcome part-time instructors to campus in the fall, around the same time as the New Faculty Orientation. Instructors can get resources from some of our campus partners across UNLV at the virtual resource fair and meet peers at the reception.
  • AI in the Classroom: Virtual Summit: In partnership with UNR and other NSHE institutions, this free virtual event brings together faculty and staff from across Nevada to explore practical, creative, and ethical uses of AI in the classroom. The virtual summit is held every fall semester and features a different keynote speaker alongside many presentations from Nevada higher education faculty. The call for presenters is open during the spring semester prior to the event. 
  • ExplOER Nevada: Reimagining Learning Beyond the Textbook: Co-hosted by UNLV, UNR, CSN, and TMCC, this free, one-day virtual symposium brings faculty together to explore the use of open educational resources (OER) and open pedagogy. The event is held every spring semester and features a different theme and keynote speaker. The call for presenters is open during the fall semester prior to the event.
  • Best Teaching Practices Expo: This is a yearly event that highlights both the best of UNLV’s evidence-based teaching practices and, in the spirit of growth and reflection, the teaching strategies that didn’t go as planned–along with the valuable lessons learned. You may read previous years’ posters from faculty who shared their research-based ideas for improving teaching across UNLV. Each poster describes a teaching practice that addresses a particular need to improve teaching; benefits UNLV students in particular; and applies in various teaching contexts. The expo is held near the end of every spring semester.
