An historic day for the University of Nevada, Reno - Vice President of the United States of America Kamala Harris visited campus on Tuesday, April 18. Vice President Harris was joined by City of Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve and actress Rosario Dawson as the three sat down on stage for a moderated discussion. 

This was the vice president's first visit to campus since being elected the 49th vice president of the United States and the first female vice president, taking office in 2021.
