Students are encouraged to visit us at Mackay! Come learn about the majors in the earth sciences and related engineering fields. Sit in on a college class. Find out about internship and research opportunities, see the labs and talk with faculty and current students. What better way to investigate the opportunities first hand than to visit.

High school teachers can schedule a classroom presentation with Mackay faculty and current students. They give an informative PowerPoint presentation explaining the majors and the careers for which students can be prepared. This reinforces the value of studying math and science and enables students to learn about ways to apply math and science.

Likewise, high school teachers can also schedule field trips to campus for their classes. They can tailor-make the tour to fit their curriculum.

National Engineer's Day at UNR provides another opportunity for interested high school students to see the labs on campus. The date is always in February, the Tuesday after the President's Day holiday.

The College of Science also hosts an Open House each spring semester. All the majors in math and science are showcased.

The Office for Prospective Students at UNR hosts the Nevada Bound program for students living in Las Vegas to visit campus for a day. They also run the Wolf-Packed Fridays, another program that enables prospective students to visit campus.
