Eighty percent of Boyd School of Law graduates remain in state. Students at the School of Dental Medicine provide more than $3.8 million in free dental services to those in need.

PERSPECTIVE

This is an exciting time for UNLV. The university is on the threshold of a major transformation, including our vision to become a top tier university. This is an ambitious goal, but one within reach. Top tier institutions achieve an overall academic excellence that benefits multiple stakeholders and drives economic activity through investment in research and community partnerships. Besides excelling in research and the hard sciences, top tier universities also have strong fine arts and humanities programs. Achieving this status will strengthen the global reach of UNLV alumni, enhancing the value of their degrees. It will elevate the experience for students and provide greater value by making them more employable when they graduate.

LEN JESSUP, PH.D – President

In the future, UNLV will lead the way with more creativity, patents, and grants that create spin-out businesses. We will attract more top students and faculty so we can increase the educated, tech-savvy workforce so important to a diversified economy. And as a top tier university, UNLV will nearly triple its current $1.8-billion economic impact. Another vital step on our way to this goal is getting

the UNLV School of Medicine established. Not only will it foster a biotech economy and keep our health care dollars local, it will actually create a healthier Southern Nevada as it propels UNLV with its partnerships, grants, and clinical practices. We are already well positioned to move forward. We are attracting more students to our Honors College, with enrollment increasing 32 percent in the last two years. The university has more students majoring in the highly valued (and paid) STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. Student-created gaming patents and a new law/master’s degree are strengthening our reputation as the intellectual capital of global gaming. There is a reason why companies like Intel and Switch are investing heavily in UNLV. They know that university researchers with access to world-class computing power are a catalyst for discovery and economic development. Being a top tier university is within our reach because of the great people we have at UNLV. It is the right aspiration for our students, our alumni, our faculty and staff, our university, our community, and our state. We are ready for the challenge of making UNLV the best university it can be. A stronger UNLV means a stronger Nevada.

Desert Research Institute Year Established: 1959 Leadership: Robert Gagosian, Interim President Employees: 500 (~150 full time Ph.D. research faculty and ~60 graduate students) Annual Budget: $44 million ($30 million in sponsored grants and contracts in FY15) Since 1959, DRI (the nonprofit research campus of the Nevada System of Higher Education) has stood at the forefront of understanding Earth’s complex environmental systems; promoting preservation of diverse ecosystems, responsible natural resource management, and improving human health and welfare throughout Nevada and the world.

Desert Research Institute

DRI conducts cutting-edge applied research in atmospheric, earth and ecosystems, and hydrologic sciences across Nevada, throughout the United States, and on all seven continents. DRI generates approximately $50 million in total annual revenue, with nearly 80-percent of that derived from federal research grants and contracts from sponsors such as the US Dept. of Energy, Dept. of Defense, National Science Foundation, NASA, EPA, Dept. of Interior, and many more. Since 2000, DRI entrepreneurial faculty have leveraged $110 million in state appropriation from the Nevada State Legislature to attract more than $510 million in external research grants and contracts from federal, local and private sponsors, providing the State of Nevada with a $4.6-to-$1 direct return on its investment. DRI research faculty and students come from more than 40 different disciplines and all walks of life. DRI employs more than 150 Ph.D. research faculty who are non-tenured, entrepreneurial and responsible for their own salaries from external grants and contracts. This blend of academic rigor and private-sector pragmatism has earned DRI a reputation for delivering rapid, high quality environmental science in a businesslike fashion. DRI employs approximately 60 graduate and post doctoral students annually. DRI invests $1.6 million in non-state funds for the support of graduate student education and research experience on projects around the world.
