Opportunity for Research-based Programs & Certifications for Graduate Students
The Graduate College Professional Development Academy is accepting applications for 2019-20 programs and certifications. The deadline is coming right up, with most applications due April 8.
Greetings! The spring season symbolizes rebirth and renewal, so it is an ideal time to review accomplishments and chart a course to nourish future growth. One way to do this is to review the results of two of our annual student surveys and kick off our annual Graduate Coordinator Report season.
Congratulations to the 2018-19 Graduate College Award Winners!
Several members of the Graduate College community will be recognized at UNLV’s Academic Achievement Awards ceremony and reception on April 29 and at the Graduate College awards ceremony on May 13.
Saruna Ghimire Receives Board of Regents' 2019 Scholar Award
Saruna Ghimire, a doctoral candidate in Public Health with an Epidemiology and Biostatistics concentration, was recently awarded a Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents' 2019 Scholar Award.
Registration begins for fall 2019 on Monday, April 15. We will begin our calling campaigns to motivate newly admitted students to enroll, but we encourage you to reach out to these students as well. Your top students are likely also candidates at other schools, and a quick phone call from you may make the difference needed to get them to choose UNLV for their graduate studies.
