Campus Holiday Toy Drive - Join Us!
Nov. 17, 2019 (All day)
Please join us for our 2nd annual Holiday Toy Drive to benefit youth who reside in the neighborhoods surrounding UNLV! UNLV Registered Student Organizations, as well as several UNLV colleges and administrative units, are facilitating a campus-wide holiday toy drive in partnership with the South Central Area Command of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, and the Engelstad and Gaughan Boys & Girls Clubs again this year. The toy drive is a great opportunity to positively impact families who live in the neighborhoods surrounding our campus. This year's goal is to collect 600 toys, which will be distributed to area youth at South Central Area Command's holiday event taking place at the Gaughan Boys & Girls Club on the UNLV campus in early December. Initiatives like this build stronger, more positive relationships between community stakeholders, including area residents, students, non-profits, businesses, and government entities. Additionally, UNLV's participation in the toy drive will facilitate a sense of connection between area youth and the UNLV campus. Toy drive collection boxes are placed in various locations across campus, (see flyer). Please join us by donating a new, unwrapped gift appropriate for children age 4 to 17 years. We look forward to our campus's participation in this important partnership and thank you, in advance, for participating!

Art Exhibition: We Believed in Nothing II
Nov. 18, 2019 (All day)
We Believed in N0thing; Chapter Tw0, which follows up on a previous exhibition similarly named, explores the potential of black and white film photography. Fourteen student artists are united in their commitment to black and white film photography as a potent medium. They work to create in-your-face, beautifully brutal, stark, and darkly humorous images of their lives. These artists explore what matters to them: death, rebirth, metaphysics, diversity, queer pride, sensuality, and the importance of home--their lives on ruined streets, in overgrown backyards, in abandoned lots, and in uncanny suburban houses of Las Vegas. This exhibition of images by photo-based artists, from UNLV Freshman through BFA students, presents work shot with 35mm, medium format, 4" x 5" analog film, and printed as traditional silver prints. Their stylistic approaches range from staged, surrealist imagery to documentary photography.
