They all have a connection to UNLV. So, welcome to UNLV 101. It’s not a syllabus for an introductory class. It’s 101 interesting things we think you should know about the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. At a university as large, dynamic, and complex as UNLV, this book could be called UNLV 1,001, but we had to stop somewhere. And we think these facts represent a wide array of what makes UNLV … well, UNLV. Some of the items included are about the great things our faculty, students, and alumni are doing. Some demonstrate the recognition our academic programs are receiving and the facilities that house them. Others describe the importance of our research and our impact on the community, including “zero-energy” homes, protecting our troops from roadside bombers, alternative energy, cancer research, gaming and hospitality, and conflict resolution. Finally, some will just make you say, “Really?” We hope you enjoy UNLV 101. 2 • UNLV VISION| Las Vegas is unique and so is our university. UNLV embraces the qualities that make our region dynamic. It is an entrepreneurial, innovative and unconventional spirit that brought us here and a passion for these qualities that keeps us here. For the last two years, we have been engaged in a collaborative planning effort known as Focus: 50 to 100, which strives to chart a course from where we are now to what we aspire to be in our next 50 years. As a result of this planning process, we developed the following vision for UNLV. Our Vision: • We promise that student learning and success will be the cornerstone for all that we do. It is imperative that we prepare our students to serve the leadership needs of the future and give our graduates the practical skills needed to be productive, active and engaged citizens. • We will strengthen our current and emerging research to improve our national reputation, foster the economic and social development of our region and contribute to the national and international dialogue among scholars. • We will create stronger partnerships with public and private research entities to improve our impact on Nevada’s economic development. • We will ensure that equity, diversity and inclusiveness are inherent in every decision. • We will support the development of the human capital, regional infrastructure and economic diversification that Nevada needs for a sustainable future. UNLV’s distinctive identity and values permeate a unique institution that brings the best of the world to our region and, in turn, produces knowledge to improve the region and world around us. UNLV • 3 PRESIDENT NEAL SmatresK —Whether he is looking at the antipredator arsenal of fire salamanders or championing student access and success, UNLV 1.President Neal Smatresk is a renowned zoologist and administrator. Smatresk is a passionate advocate for students, faculty and staff and was the architect of the extensive strategic planning effort at UNLV—Focus: 50 to 100.

Smatresk served as vice chancellor and chief academic officer at the University of Hawaii at Manoa after spending 22 years at the University of Texas at Arlington as a faculty member, department chair and dean. While in Texas, he was one of the statewide leaders of major science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) outreach initiatives. Now for the big question—how DO you say his name correctly? He says, “Smah-tresk.” 4 • OUR RESEARCH CYBER SECURITY LEADER — The National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security designated UNLV as a Center of Academic Excellence in 2.Information Assurance Education, indicating that UNLV is a national leader in cyber security education and research.

Publication of peer-reviewed articles – considered a key measure of productivity and excellence by a university – grew 99 percent at UNLV between 1991 and 2001, while nationally, research productivity among top universities remained flat or decreased, the study showed. Such success can help the university rise in national rankings, enhance recruitment of faculty and students, and help secure grants and other funding.
