I am proud to share the 2024 UNLV President’s Annual Report, which highlights some of the incredible things happening at our university. From record-breaking enrollment to innovative research and related programming that’s tackling our region’s most pressing challenges, it's evident that UNLV is a university on the rise.

This is in part a result of our efforts to more holistically address student success — from enhanced recruitment strategies and improvements to enrollment processes to our focus on supporting the physical, mental, and financial well-being of our campus community. 
 
And UNLV’s impact on our local economy is staggering — about $2 billion according to a report by the labor market firm Lightcast. UNLV supports one out of every 83 jobs in Southern Nevada and two out of three graduates stay here to build their careers. From the teachers in our classrooms to the health professionals bringing cutting-edge new treatments to our hospitals to the engineers figuring out how to harvest water from surprising new sources — UNLV Rebels are making a difference. 

These accomplishments – and many more – have been achieved amidst the backdrop of our continuing recovery following an immeasurable tragedy on our campus last December. While we’ll never forget that day, the incredible spirit, resilience, and drive of our university community is moving us forward to new heights. 

At a university as large and diverse as ours, no major success is ever accomplished without help. And likewise, no challenge must be endured alone. There is a collective power that comes from sharing our joys, pains, struggles, and triumphs. 
 
There is so much to be proud of and still so much more to do. I am so grateful for your continuing support.

Dr. Keith E. Whitfield,
UNLV President
