Diversity in health care advances academic excellence, benefits patients and furthers research in meaningful and measurable ways. That’s why our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is more than a wall plaque – it’s a promise. A promise we back with meaningful and measurable actions. A promise that extends to our learners, to our colleagues and to our community. Because a healthy Nevada is only possible when we recognize the individual needs of each and every Nevadan.
It is important to confront our past and seek to build a more equitable and just community.
Our University stands in solidarity with Black and African American students, staff and faculty.
We seek to amplify queer life experiences and serve as allies. Learn more about the University's LGBTQ+ community, efforts and achievements, ground breaking research and more.
Nevada Pride
We acknowledge that the University of Nevada, Reno is situated on the traditional homelands of the Numu (Northern Paiute), Wašiw (Washoe), Newe (Western Shoshone), and Nuwu (Southern Paiute) peoples. These lands continue to be a gathering place for Indigenous Peoples and we recognize their deep connections to these places. We extend our appreciation for the opportunity to live and learn on their territory.
