Nevada State University, a four-year public institution, is a member of the Nevada System of Higher Education. Nevada State places a special emphasis on the advancement of a diverse and largely under-served student population. Located on a developing 500-acre campus in the foothills of Henderson, Nevada, the institution was established in 2002 as a new tier in the state system between the research universities and the two-year colleges. In this role, the university emphasizes high-quality instruction, exemplary service, engaging learning experiences, and innovation as a means to more efficient, effective outcomes in all corners of the campus.

Eyes Open. Know the signs. Make the call.

Safety at Nevada State is something we build together. If something feels off, trust that instinct and say something. Reports go straight to a trained team who can check in, connect people with support, and follow up when it's needed.

Submit a confidential tip anytime at EyesOpen.nevada.edu

This campus is ours to protect, because safety isn't solo work. 💛🖤
