Greetings! I hope that 2019 has been wonderful for you so far.
The end of last year and beginning of this year have been very exciting for us at UNLV. As you likely know by now, the university reached Carnegie R1 status in December much earlier than we’d anticipated.

Dr. Kate Hausbeck Korgan Named Graduate College Dean
Dr. Kate Hausbeck Korgan, who has served as interim dean of the UNLV Graduate College since 2013, was named permanent dean of the College on Jan. 23, 2019.
UNLV Attains Highest Status as Research University
In December, UNLV joined the ranks of just 130 institutions nationwide classified by Carnegie as “very high research activity” – or R1 – the gold standard for university research metrics.
In October, we shared that over the course of 1,957 minutes, more than 2,000 gifts totaling more than $900,000 were given to UNLV during #RebelsGive, the university's inaugural giving day. The UNLV Foundation has tallied all the results, and the Graduate College, specifically, received more than 215 gifts totaling more than $16,000!
All gifts given to the Graduate College during #RebelsGive will support graduate student scholarships; the Professional Development Academy; the Graduate College General Fund; and graduate student research, conference, and travel expenses.
Thank you for supporting UNLV's graduate students!
