Fleischmann Planetarium Dome Theater and Facility Refresh
Thanks to a lead gift from the George W. Gillemot Foundation, the Fleischmann Planetarium is poised to install a new, state-of-the-art dome theater.
Student Scholarships
Student success is the College of Science’s greatest priority and financial support is one way to reduce the burden on our students, many of whom are first-generation.
Faculty Support
The hallmark of a great university is its faculty. Named faculty positions are one of the best ways to broaden their impact. These positions benefit generations of faculty and their students and often take a donor's legacy in directions they could not have imagined.
Learn more about the impact of named faculty positions or email Leigh Fitzpatrick to learn more about establishing your own named faculty position.
Center for Research in Economic Geology (CREG)
CREG is a center of study and learning that is leading to a greater understanding of the geology, geochemistry, geophysics, genesis and exploration of critical mineral and precious metal deposits in Nevada.
Building a future of discovery, together
We believe our faculty, researchers and students can change the world we live in for the better. Endowed positions, student scholarships, research funding and other forms of financial support provide our faculty and students with the flexibility and stability that lead to the 'Aha!' moments that can change our world.
