A COVID-19 delayed deadline expires Wednesday for students applying for admittance to ÐÔÊӽ紫ý.

ÐÔÊӽ紫ý will distribute $11.8 million in federal coronavirus relief money to students.

ÐÔÊӽ紫ý just registered more than 31,000 students and recorded a first-year retention rate of about 80 percent.

University Police Services’ Southern Command — a new department created as part of the consolidation of police forces for four schools — is on track to be fully up and running by January.

It’s never too late to plan for college, and ÐÔÊӽ紫ý is giving Nevada residents a leg up with a new tuition program in fall 2020.

Beginning Fall 2020, ÐÔÊӽ紫ý will offer a new Tuition+ Award Program. The program will provide eligible Nevada residents a grant for 12 undergraduate credit hours of tuition and fees each semester, plus $1,000 for books for the school year.

A blind ÐÔÊӽ紫ý student has a unique perspective ahead of the new school year.

The Clark County School District, ÐÔÊӽ紫ý and Las Vegas Metropolitan police departments collaborated during the summer to figure out how to combat school violence, and increase campus safety before the start of the new 2019 school year.

University Police Officer Bree Torrey said it was a face she couldn’t forget.

The days of bunk beds and shared dormitory bathrooms are long gone for many college students.
Some staff members need a bullhorn to corral students through congested high school hallways and exit points. Not Lionel Stoxstell.

Three elements make a great public space. Enclosure. Delight. And a view. While large public spaces are not a Vegas specialty, there are small spots here and there if you know where to look.
