'A bright and expansive future': Nevada State celebrates one year as a university

HENDERSON (KTNV) — July 1 marks the one year anniversary for Nevada State as a university.

The formerly named Nevada State College made the transition to a university last July after Governor Joe Lombardo signed the unanimously passed Senate Bill 273 into law.

Back in May, the four-year, public institution celebrated its first graduating Class of 2024 as a university—conferring more than 840 degrees to 822 graduates across more than 65 majors and minors.

Nevada State celebrates first graduating class since becoming a university

“It’s been a momentous year for Nevada State University, as we stand on the threshold of a bright and expansive future, providing a more affordable and flexible path to higher education,” said Nevada State University President Dr. DeRionne Pollard. “Becoming a university has empowered us to continue broadening our horizons and deepening our commitment to academic excellence while forging paths for the next generation of students.”

While Nevada State may hold the new university title, the higher education institution has served Nevadans for more than 20 years.

The university said among their more than 8,500 alumni, 80 percent remain in the state in critical workforce roles such as teachers and nurses.

“Being part of the first graduating class since Nevada State transitioned from a college to a university was such an honor,” said Trinity Stewart, a Nevada State University alumna. “My experience at Nevada State was nothing short of rewarding and I’m grateful for the education that I received.”

Mansion on the Nevada Side of Lake Tahoe Swiftly Sells for Million

A waterfront mansion on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe just sold for $46 million, less than three weeks after hitting the market.

The speedy deal marks a departure from the typical U.S. market.

Nationwide, homes took a median 78 days to land a buyer in January, five more than the same time last year and the 22nd straight month of homes taking longer to sell on a year-over-year basis, according to data from Realtor.com.

The lavish log cabin-like residence, in Incline Village, listed on Jan. 24 for $47.5 million. It sold 20 days later, on Feb. 13, listing records show.

The more than 7,000-square-foot residence was built in 2014, and has double-height living spaces, walls of windows, beamed ceilings, fireplaces, and plenty of rustic exposed stone and wood, listing images show.

There’s also a gym, a wet bar, a spa, a wine room, an office, two separate game rooms, seven bedrooms and dramatic Lake Tahoe views. Outside, there’s a private sandy beach, multiple decks, a heated driveway and two exterior fireplaces, according to listing information.
