Message from the Director

Would you be interested in serving as a Faculty Center Fellow next year? Fellows make important contributions to Faculty Center events and services by sharing their research and teaching expertise with members of UNLV's faculty. The commitment is to facilitate a monthly meeting for a mentoring group, book group, writing group, or other learning community. If you’re interested, please complete this form by May 26th. Selection notifications will be sent in June. I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have about the program; email me at melissa.bowles-terry@unlv.edu.

As we wrap up spring semester, I encourage you to check out Online Education’s Summer 2022 catalog of professional development opportunities. Note that we’ll be sending the Faculty Center Newsletter every other week this summer, through August. And I hope that you enjoy celebrating our students at commencement!

Best wishes,

Melissa Bowles-Terry

Director, Faculty Center

UNLV will become a smoke free and tobacco free campus beginning in Fall 2022, and researchers at the UNLV School of Public Health are seeking students, faculty, and staff to participate in a study that examines attitudes toward tobacco use and related policies, use of tobacco and nicotine products, and other substance use behaviors.

To be eligible, you must be 18 years old or older and affiliated with UNLV as a faculty, staff, or student. The study will be an anonymous, online survey that lasts approximately 10-20 minutes. Take the survey here.

Participants will be entered into a drawing to receive a $25 Amazon gift cards (1 in 10 chance). Contact the Principal Investigator, Dr. Tim Grigsby, at 702-895-4670 or timothy.grigsby@unlv.edu if you have any questions or would like additional information regarding the study (IRB# 2021-218).
