Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month | |
|
May is Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM). During May, we are encouraged to celebrate the many contributions Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders have made to our culture.
Whether speaking to first, second, third, or fourth-generation individuals, their story is powerful and inspiring. From migrant laborers to inventive trailblazers, the month is a time to acknowledge their hardships, culture, achievements, and beliefs.
- In 1978, a joint resolution was passed authorizing the president to proclaim a week-long celebration of Asian and Pacific American heritage.
- In 1992, Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month was designated by President Bush. (ED.gov)
Visit the APAHM website to learn more and to attend APAHM online events.

Google Workspace Update: Create A Booking Page | |
|
You can now create a booking page in Google Calendar that you can share with your colleagues and customers, including those without a Google account, to help them schedule time with you.
This new feature also includes automatic appointment conflict detection and it allows you to customize your appointment availability, including:
- Limit early or last-minute booking
- Limit the max number of appointments per day
- Automatically add custom buffer time in between appointments
Appointment scheduling will eventually replace the existing appointment slot feature in Google Calendar. Visit the Google Calendar Help page to learn how to set up an appointment schedule.

Business Affairs Celebrates Take Your Child to Work Day | |
|
On April 28, UNLV celebrated Take Your Child to Work Day by hosting a variety of events throughout campus including lunch in the Student Union Amphitheater. Business Affairs teams participated in a number of ways.
Risk Management & Safety, Rebel Recycling, and the Community Garden hosted events, the senior vice president’s office sponsored cookies during lunch, and a number of employees brought their children to campus to participate in the festivities. It was a great day and for some children, their first introduction to a college campus. Here are some highlights from the day.

February Employee Appreciation Recipients | |
|
Rose Cummings,
Cashiering and Student Accounts, Financial Services
Rose was nominated for going above and beyond her normal scope of responsibilities. She communicated expectations to other departments when the university began its transition to a new banking partner and gathered information to support a team at Nevada State College. She also played a key role in ensuring the controller’s office was a reliable source of information for students during the ongoing pandemic!

|
Mike Kwiecien,
Senior Project Manager, Planning and Construction
Mike was nominated for his exemplary project management in support of the Tropicana Parking Garage expansion. He was faced with rapidly increasing prices of raw materials and labor due to the pandemic which caused the total estimated cost of the project to increase by $1.8 million. He verified all costs above the base bid amounts and, ultimately, safeguarded the university against $825,000 in cost increases!
