A grassroots effort has emerged among faculty and professional staff at UNLV to reach out and partner with the community in finding workable solutions to the challenges facing the Las Vegas metro area. Our goal is for UNLV to play a major role in achieving a sustainable Las Vegas community with all its interrelated dimensions, including environmental, economic, and social/cultural sustainability. We view this initiative as one that is of vital importance to our students, faculty, and the entire community. We earnestly believe that the community is our campus. Together, not only can we change our community, but we can change it for the better.
