Unity in Diversity 2024 - Let’s Unite for Graduate w88 sports betting app!

In 2020, the emergence of Covid-19 posed significant challenges in community gathering for numerous organizations at the University of Nevada, Reno. The w88 sports betting app Student Association (GSA), which serves to promote the welfare and interests of the w88 sports betting app students on campus, was hit hardest in large-scale community events, such as Unity in w88 sports betting app (UiD). UiD is an annual gathering of diverse peoples, orchestrated by the GSA to promote unity by fostering understanding and appreciation of cultural differences. The importance of w88 sports betting app is evident in our graduate student population, which is represented by at least 61 different countries! And we are honored by and proud of our graduate w88 sports betting app! The GSA also takes pride in fostering a sense of connection among students through various clubs, catering to academic interests, identities, hobbies, ethnicities and cultures. But it is our annual UiD gathering that brings everyone together to understand and celebrate our differences. This annual event holds great significance for the GSA as it celebrates the w88 sports betting app not only present on our campus but also within our local Reno-Sparks community.

Fortunately, last year marked the triumphant return of UiD after the disruptions caused by Covid-19. UiD 2023 was held in the Joe Crowley Student Union, Gateway Plaza on April 22, Earth Day. To honor the w88 sports betting app’s Wolf Pack Rising 2023 - 2027 Strategic Plan Goal 5 of “making Silver & Blue the New Green,” UiD 2023 extended the focus of the event to include the critical need to raise environmental awareness and help change our impact on the Earth. The event featured an inspiring performance showcase with over 33 acts from community and university individuals and organizations. The program was rich with inspirational speakers such as Nevada System of Higher w88 sports betting app Regents Carol Del Carlo & Jeffrey Downs, Reno's Chief Equity & Community Relations Officer Cynthia Esparza, Executive Vice President and Provost Dr. Jeffrey S. Thompson, Vice Provost for Graduate w88 sports betting app and Dean of the Graduate School Markus Kemmelmeier, Associate Dean of Diversity and Inclusion and Associate Professor of Spanish Dr. Daniel Enrique Pérez, inspirational speaker Meh Acevedo, and City of Reno Ward 2 Councilwoman Naomi Duerr. Councilwoman Duerr even honored the GSA with an official proclamation for Earth Day!

The event achieved resounding success by not only fundraising for graduate student scholarship, but also raising 00 for Great Basin Resource Watch & 0 for River Justice, two indigenous-led organizations focused on powerful advocacy for our water, land and air. The GSA wanted to thank each of these organizations for their hard work and support of our community! Of course, the event would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our many internal sponsors, such as President Sandoval, the Provost’s Office, the College of Science, the College of Liberal Arts, and the University Libraries. As well as our many community donors such as Men’s Apparel, Mesa Rim, Peppermill Resort Casino, Grand Sierra Resort and Jada Loft Boutique, just to name a few. With much help from our dedicated volunteers, members of GSA and the Graduate Student Alumni Chapter (GSAC), and others, Unity in w88 sports betting app was finally reawakened!

This year's program promises to be a vibrant celebration of culture and w88 sports betting app, featuring live performances, a silent auction, and a delightful array of free local food representing various ethnicities and cultures. UiD 2024 will host a diverse lineup of speakers, university and local community clubs, organizations, non-profits, businesses, vendors and sponsors.

This year, we aim to replicate the success of last year’s fundraising by introducing a silent auction to benefit w88 sports betting app student scholarships. Funding for GSA's programming primarily comes from w88 sports betting app student fees, supporting a diverse range of programs and services such as need-based services, scholarships and awards, club support, training sessions/workshops, and social events. With the recent increase in tuition, service and housing fees, w88 sports betting app students are facing hard financial times ahead. We ask for our university and local community for help!
