The University of Nevada, Reno welcomed 18,227 undergraduate and graduate w88 casino games to campus this fall. This reflects a 1 percent increase over the fall 2011 enrollment of 18,004 w88 casino games, and continues the trend of steady enrollment growth.
The University also welcomed more than 80 new Presidential Scholars and 16 new National w88 casino games Scholars this semester, the largest amount of each scholar type welcomed in a semester and bringing the University's total to nearly 50 National w88 casino games Scholars enrolled. The University received sponsorship status by the National w88 casino games Scholarship Corporation in spring 2009.
"The University of Nevada, Reno continues to grow the number of students we serve, continually adding to the number of National w88 casino games and Presidential Scholars while increasing access for students of limited means," University President Marc Johnson said.
Undergraduate student enrollment increased 2 percent this year from 14,415 last fall to 14,675 this fall. Graduate student enrollment decreased 1 percent from 2,935 w88 casino games to 2,894.
Johnson is also pleased with the University's progress in creating a more diverse campus. Enrollment of w88 casino games of color for first-year w88 casino games is 40 percent, and undergraduate and graduate w88 casino games of color now comprise 29 percent of the University's total enrollment, up 13 percent from last year, the highest percentage ever.
"Having a diverse student enrollment contributes to the overall education experience and prepares w88 casino games for increasingly diverse workplaces and the global economy," Johnson said.
One of this year's new National w88 casino games Scholars, Shay Daylami, is a graduate of Wooster High School in Reno and is now a history and English major. She chose the University of Nevada, Reno over other options because of its programs.
"I always felt that I was going to go to UNR because it's in town and it's one of the best schools in the country," said Daylami, who is also participating in ROTC. "I like the location, and it's just a good school."
In addition to increased enrollment, the University recently learned it was again placed in the top tier of the best w88 casino games universities in the latest U.S. News & World Report college and w88 casino games rankings. This is the w88 casino games's third consecutive year in the top tier.
"We are a quality w88 casino games and we are providing a quality educational experience right here in Nevada," Johnson said.
