Nevada System of Higher Education

Across NSHE, wellness takes many forms.

It’s in the programs that support students, the resources that help employees thrive, and the education and training preparing Nevada’s future health professionals.

This National Professional Wellness Month, we’re celebrating the work helping build healthier communities across our state.

Commencement may be over, but this is exactly the kind of student story we’re still thinking about. 🍎📚🎓

Gabriella Detrick, a University of Nevada, Reno student, was named a 2026 Harry S. Truman Scholar, earning one of the nation’s most prestigious awards for students pursuing careers in public service.

Big award. Big goals. Big Nevada pride.

Proud to see this work in action. Thank you to the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV for the closer look at the care, teaching and training happening every day.

We were honored to welcome State Senator Rochelle Nguyen, Nevada System of Higher Education Chancellor Matt McNair, Regent Heather Brown, Councilman Brian Knudsen, and Alexander Fuller for a visit to learn more about the vital role our practice plan, UNLV Health, plays as the clinical classroom for both medical students and residents.

Beyond education, they saw firsthand the exceptional care, compassion, and dedication our faculty clinicians bring to patients every day. Their commitment to serving our community while training the next generation of physicians is truly inspiring.

Behind many students is someone cheering them on, checking in, offering advice or reminding them they can do hard things.

This Global Day of Parents, NSHE celebrates the parents and parent figures helping Nevada’s students move forward. 💙
