Dear University Community, I know we’re all hard at work preparing for the end of the spring semester this week. As we continue to advance in many phases of our Rebel Recovery, I wanted to primarily focus this message on gratitude. Over the past five months, every member of our university community has gone above and beyond their normal professional roles to support our students and…

Dear University Community,  It was great to see faculty, staff, and students earlier today at our last all-hands meeting of the semester. I know this is an especially busy time as we prepare for commencement and place the finishing touches on an academic year that certainly didn’t go how any of us would have expected back in August.  When I launched the Rebel Recovery …

Dear University Community, It seems hard to believe, but we’re now entering the final stretch of the spring semester. As we prepare for the end of the semester and of the academic year, we remain committed to advancing our Rebel Recovery process. Earlier this month, the state’s Interim Finance Committee met and approved a transfer of $2.6 million in American Rescue Plan funds to NSHE to support…

Dear University Community,  Yesterday afternoon, I had the privilege of meeting with a number of UNLV students during the annual president’s mental health town hall in the Student Union. During the event, we discussed a variety of stress management techniques and coping skills, our wellness team shared available resources, and – perhaps most importantly – we checked in on one another. It…

Dear University Community, We’re now a month into the spring semester at UNLV. And as our university moves through the paces of the academic term, we do so with a mix of routine and remembrance while navigating the Rebel Recovery process together. There are many aspects of this process and all are important. On Feb. 27, I’ll host a mental health town hall for students from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in the…

Anyone who needs to retrieve items that were left in classrooms or public spaces on campus during the 12/6 incident should complete this simple online University Policy Services Property Retrieval Form. Once the form is submitted, we will check for the missing item(s) and be in touch to let the form submitter know if the item(s) are available and, if so, we'll schedule a date/time to pick up the…

Dear UNLV Community, Thank you all for your continued resilience and fortitude as we have moved into this spring semester. I am so proud of how our university community has rallied together to support one another, continuing our important mission while being mindful of the unique path to recovery for everyone. I know some are still struggling, and I continue to emphasize that we have…

Dear Colleagues, As we begin the spring semester at UNLV this week, I know that it will be unlike any we’ve experienced as a university. We look forward to getting back to our core mission of educating students and continuing the important and urgent work that UNLV contributes to our community and state. But we can’t ignore the fact that we are, both individually and collectively, still…

Dear Colleagues,  The spring semester at UNLV is just a few days away, and I want to thank you all for your attendance and participation in Tuesday’s All Hands Meeting and your continued dedication and commitment to our students and to this great university.  The start of any new semester is met with a mix of excitement and anxiety – and that will certainly be the case this…

Dear Students, Next week, as we begin the spring semester, many of you will return to the UNLV campus for the first time since Dec. 6. I know that this semester will be unlike any we’ve experienced as a university, as we individually and collectively process last month’s tragedy and continue our recovery together. I also understand that this process is different for everyone. We will heal as…

Hello colleagues, As we prepare for the spring semester, we understand that recovery will be difficult for many who are processing the traumatic events of December 6. To help support the recovery process, our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider ComPsych will offer in-person counseling sessions and virtual webinars in January and February. Sessions are free and open to all UNLV employees.…

Dear Colleagues,  On Monday, faculty and staff will begin to return to UNLV’s campus – many for the first time in almost a month.  The process of recovery from last month’s tragedy is unique for everyone at UNLV. But one thing I’ve learned from my interactions, and from the stories I’ve heard from colleagues and students, is that our university community rallies around one another…
