SIGNS POINT TO A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR UNLV This past year has been one of remarkable momentum and growth for UNLV and the UNLV Foundation. Our campus welcomed a record-setting 33,000 students this fall, continuing a three-year enrollment streak and affirming the confidence that students and families place in the value of a UNLV degree. More than half of our graduates are the first in their families to earn a bachelor's degree, and their success stories demonstrate the transformative power of education in shaping lives and strengthening Nevada's future. The Rebel community has also rallied behind bold philanthropy, fueling extraordinary achievements. We saw historic fundraising milestones, including a $13 million gift to expand the Lynn Bennett Early Childhood Education Center-doubling opportunities for our youngest Rebels-and the launch of the Sands Institute for Chinese Language and Culture at UNLV and the Kerestesi Center for Insurance and Risk Management, opening new career pathways for our students. Our Annual Dinner more than doubled last year's fundraising totals, Rebels Give soared beyond expectations, and overall giving increased by 40% over the prior year. These results reflect the trust our community places in UNLV's leadership and vision. The impact extends across every corner of campus. In FY25, donors contributed more than $72.6 million in new gifts, pledges, and services, advancing student success, research excellence, and economic development. The Office of the Provost led the year with $15.1 million raised, while Athletics and the College of Fine Arts both raised over $5.6 million. The Foundation's endowment also grew to $393.4 million, an 113.6% increase over the past decade, ensuring long-term support for our mission. Together, all these successes demonstrate the strength, resilience, and generosity of the Rebel family. They are more than numbers; they represent lives changed, opportunities created, and confidence in a brighter future. On behalf of the Foundation, thank you for believing in UNLV and for helping us shape Nevada's future.
