FOUNDATION GATHERINGS

Celebrating 2020 Honor Court inductees

Each year, names are engraved into the University’s Honor Court to recognize the accomplishments and support of those who contribute to excellence at our institution. The names of 82 individuals and organizations were engraved in July, including the University’s top faculty, staff and student award recipients and generous donors. These honorees join more than 2,100 others whose service and contributions have been recognized in Honor Court. Although an in-person celebration was not possible this year due to COVID-19, the University of Nevada, Reno Foundation extended special thank you messages to the 2020 inductees through a webpage and videos.
