After a year unlike any other, our College celebrated the graduates of its 2020 and 2021 classes with two in-person Commencement ceremonies, held May 12-13. For family members and friends who could not attend, there were many options to watch the ceremonies live from a mobile device or on TV. Graduates and their families were encouraged to join the Commencement conversation online by using the hashtags #NVGrad2020, #NVGrad2021, #NVGrads and #PackPride.

The two ceremonies recognizing our College's graduates were part of eight Commencement ceremonies our University held this spring to commemorate the awarding of more than 8,300 degrees.

Honoring resilience, patience and determination

"Congratulations graduates. Thank you for your resilience, patience and determination in reaching this moment. You have all worked very hard to get here, and I speak for the entire University when I say that we are so proud of you. Go Pack!" -President Brian Sandoval

Growing leadership, citizenship and life skills

4-H is a community of young people across America. Members learn life skills, make new friends, enhance self-esteem, achieve personal goals, develop positive relationships with peers and volunteers, and have fun learning and sharing as a family and a club.

Growing a stronger Nevada

Our programs work together to make an impact

Our teaching, research and engagement programs are intertwined and complement one another. Faculty who teach on campus also conduct research as part of our Experiment Station, allowing students to learn about and participate in research. Extension faculty engaging with communities identify research needs, as well as join Experiment Station faculty to conduct research. Faculty on campus help to develop Extension programs in communities.

Researching critical issues Experiment Station faculty conduct research at experiment stations, labs and research facilities across the state, as well as teach classes and share and conduct research with students. The state-federal partnership tackles issues affecting Nevada's citizens, communities and economy.
