UNLV Strong: The Class of 2023 Becomes UNLV Alumni

Nearly 2,300 students joined the UNLV Class of 2023 at winter commencement ceremonies on Dec. 19 and 20. They hail from 36 states or U.S. territories and 39 countries. Many are the first in their family to graduate from college; 88% are Nevada residents. And the majority — 71% — are from ethnically diverse backgrounds, an important statistic given UNLV’s highly diverse undergraduate body. The average age of those receiving their bachelor’s degree was 25. The youngest to receive a diploma was an impressive 19 while the oldest was an inspiring 72. But they are more than statistics. The class of 2023 are future educators, scientists, engineers, and accountants. They are writers, artists, social workers, and health care professionals. They are someone’s daughter or son, a spouse, or even grandparent. They are role models for their children and younger siblings. Now they are a part of another family — a Rebel forever.
