Message from the Director

I hope you had a nice Spring Break! 

I’d like to invite you to a student panel we’re hosting on Friday, April 1 at 10am. There are students at UNLV who experience food insecurity and housing insecurity, and their instructors may never know it. What can you do in the classroom to support students who are uncertain of their next meal, and who may not have a steady place to live? A panel of students from the HOPE Scholars Program and the Fostering Scholars Program will share their experience and tips for instructors, and resources from the UNLV community will be highlighted. Please register and join us via Zoom.

Another upcoming event to add to your calendar: March 28-April 1 is the first campus-wide MSI Week celebration for UNLV. This will be a time for us to reflect on who we are as an institution, the HSI and AANAPISI designations we hold, and to engage in sincere dialogue in terms of where UNLV goes from here.

See you soon,

Melissa Bowles-Terry

Director, Faculty Center
