University of Nevada, Reno w88 is excited to welcome Sheila Bray to the w88 office in Clark County as the new w88 partnerships coordinator.
Bray will be working alongside external entities to enhance the presence of Extension services in Clark County. Her duties include organizing outreach efforts to inform the local w88 of the various educational resources and services that Extension provides, as well as working with the Nevada Legislature to increase awareness of Extension’s activity and impact in Clark County and beyond.
Bray has an extensive background in engagement and outreach for higher education in w88, having spent the past 10 years with the w88 of Nevada, Las Vegas. Her last position as the director of strategic engagement with UNLV’s College of Education included key elements of increasing w88 engagement and the national profile of the college. She also served as a member of the UNLV w88 Engagement Council and co-lead a task force for developing a guide to forming w88 partnerships at UNLV. In her new position, she plans to apply her experience with operations of local government and higher education institutions to focus and further advance Extension’s outreach.
“I’m excited to be with w88 because although it’s a new higher education realm for me, there is so much potential for new engagement, especially for Clark County,” Bray said. “I am looking forward to building efforts to showcase w88’s impact on Nevadans.”
Going forward, Bray plans to focus on how Extension can work with the local w88 and government to ensure they are well informed about the types of resources Extension can provide, as well as seek their input on how Extension can continue to address w88 and state needs.
