Fleischmann Planetarium Dome Theater and Facility Refresh

Thanks to a lead gift from the George W. Gillemot Foundation, the Fleischmann Planetarium is poised to install a new, state-of-the-art dome theater.

Support the Planetarium's facility refresh and bridge the gap to establish a world-class gateway to the Universe.

Student Scholarships

Student success is the College of Science’s greatest priority and financial support is one way to reduce the burden on our students, many of whom are first-generation.

To discuss creating a new scholarship, email College of Science Development Director Leigh Fitzpatrick.

Faculty Support

The hallmark of a great university is its faculty. Named faculty positions are one of the best ways to broaden their impact. These positions benefit generations of faculty and their students and often take a donor's legacy in directions they could not have imagined.

Learn more about the impact of named faculty positions or email Leigh Fitzpatrick to learn more about establishing your own named faculty position.

Center for Research in Economic Geology (CREG)

CREG is a center of study and learning that is leading to a greater understanding of the geology, geochemistry, geophysics, genesis and exploration of critical mineral and precious metal deposits in Nevada.

Support the CREG program in creating greater prosperity in our state and region.
