Welcome Back Pack!

Read a description of the video below

Historic red-brick Morrill Hall opens a fast-paced montage of life at the University of Nevada, Reno. Crowds gather on a tree-lined lawn as students walk and skateboard across campus, relax beside Manzanita Lake and move through a bright, multilevel atrium. Students collaborate around laptops while researchers conduct exercise testing, examine materials, operate sustainability equipment, guide a four-legged robot, study high-desert plants, test a fixed-wing drone and observe wildlife in a mountain wetland. Dancers rehearse in a studio, a violinist performs and Wolf Pack athletes compete in volleyball, basketball, softball and football before thousands of cheering fans.

Morrill Hall, originally known as the Main Building, was the first building constructed at the University in 1885 and still stands today at the southern part of the Old Quad.

As we begin our fall semester today, we do so knowing full well that neighborhoods in Reno have been impacted greatly by the Hawk Fire, and that some of our neighbors, friends and family have had their lives irrevocably altered. The Wolf Pack Family is a strong one, and let us all demonstrate the ever-present empathy, care, and help that is at the core of who we are.
