UNLV - Rebels with a Cause
November 12th, 2007 at 3:14 pm | posted by Field
Monday, November 5th, marked a great historical moment for the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV). At a press conference held by the ONE Club at UNLV, Provost Neil Smatresk represented our University President David Ashley, and read a proclamation declaring UNLV a “ONE Campus!” This proclamation comes at a very unique time as UNLV gets ready to host the CNN Democratic Presidential Candidate debate on November 15th.
Chancellor Jim Rogers was also in attendance as a ONE Vote ‘08 Ambassador to announce a very unique scholarship opportunity for ONE UNLV Club members. UNLV students gathered together and in full force have jumped on the ONE Campus Challenge this week. The press conference was covered by 3 local TV stations and our student paper, The Rebel Yell.
We are excited by all the ways we can earn points for our university. As our basketball team gets ready to begin the new season Rebel fans are anxious to get them in ONE gear at a game. Other future events will include hosting a ONE ROCKS! Concert November 14th to raise awareness of the ONE Campaign and recruit new members.
UNLV is off to a great start and excited about the ONE Campus Challenge. Keep watch while these Rebels with a Cause work their way up in the standings to raise awareness about ONE.
-Rebecca Hoffer, President of ONE UNLV
