Dear Wolf Pack Family,

Dr. Lois Tarkanian will be remembered as an everlasting figure in Nevada history. She was a champion of education and her distinguished career in so many facets of Nevada’s educational system as a teacher, speech pathologist, school administrator, advocate for special education, and representative of the people as a Nevada System of Higher Education Regent speak to her lifelong belief in the power of education to change lives for the better.

She was the wife and cherished confidante to the legendary Hall of Fame college basketball coach, the late UNLV men’s basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian, as well as mother and grandmother to a family she loved with all of her being. And yet, to so many, she was also “Dr. Lois” — a trailblazing figure who throughout her life in public service was a voice of reason and respect for all she represented.

Dr. Tarkanian was one of the most successful advocates for education that our state has ever known. Lauralyn and I wish to express our most sincere condolences to all of the members of the Tarkanian family.

Sincere regards,

Brian Sandoval
President
