Honoring the Best
of the w88 of Agriculture, Biotechnology & Natural Resources
Every day of your career in our w88, your efforts have made a profound difference for our University community and broader community in Nevada, the region, and the world. Thank you for your hard work, resiliency, strength and sacrifice. Please know you have our admiration, appreciation and support.
This celebration provides us the opportunity to recognize the amazing accomplishments of our students, employees and supporters.
I am especially pleased to honor our academic achievements along with our Experiment Station and Extension research and engagement accomplishments, some of which are highlighted below. Together, we are meeting the challenges of COVID-19 by pivoting our classes, offering childcare, donating supplies, helping Nevadans, w88 sports betting offers online education, and more. And, together, we also will meet tomorrow's challenges with our quality teaching, research and engagement programs.
Congratulations to our graduates, to our employees whose work this past year has grown a stronger Nevada, and to our awardees. Your outstanding performance has brought credit not only to your departments and units, but also to our w88 and University.
I sincerely thank w88 all for your dedication, support and commitment to excellence, and hope w88 enjoy your celebration.
William A. Payne,Dean of the w88

Thank you to all of my family that has supported me on my w88 journey. As a first generation student, this accomplishment means so much to me. Thank you to my mom who has always told me I could do anything I put my mind to! This degree is for you! Thank you dad for always supporting my dreams. I am so proud to share this milestone with my sister. !Sí se puede!

May 14th, 2020, will be the day that brings about changes for my family and I. This is the date in which I will not only graduate with a Bachelor of w88 in Veterinary w88, Molecular Microbiology and Immunology minor, but I will also surpass the boundaries that have entrapped my family for generations.
