Spring Celebration & Awards Night
Welcome
Bill Payne.It’s extra special to gather here with you all this evening, not only to celebrate our College’s accomplishments, but also, as the founding College of our University, to celebrate our University’s 150th year of serving our state.
As has been the case throughout the history of our College, this year you – our students, faculty, staff and supporters – have worked hard and given 100% to accomplish so much more than we will be able to mention this evening.
Our College is truly exemplary in delivering on the University’s tripartite mission as a land-grant institution, of teaching, research and engagement, thanks to your hard work.
Tonight, we celebrate:
- Your excellence in learning and teaching in our traditional degree programs, as well as in our specialized Extended Studies offerings;
- Your excellence in research in our labs, fields and Experiment Station facilities; and
- Your excellence in providing meaningful impacts in Nevada communities with Extension programming.
I am truly thankful for all that you do, and so proud of all your efforts. Thank you all for coming, and I hope you enjoy the evening and sharing in each other’s successes.
William A. Payne
Dean of the College
