Valerie Pida Plaza
Since holding its first on-campus classes in 1957, University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) has developed from a small branch college of the University of Nevada into a thriving urban research institution of higher learning. Noted for its strong emphasis on science and technology, business management and its law program, UNLV has been deemed a “research-intensive university” by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Along with the main campus, located about 1.6 miles east of the Las Vegas Strip, the university offers the Shadow Lane Campus just east of the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, which houses the School of Dental Medicine (the only dental school in Nevada); the Paradise Campus just east of the McCarran International Airport; and a satellite campus in Singapore. UNLV’s law school, the William Boyd School of Law, is the only law school in Nevada. VALERIE PIDA PLAZA Valerie Pida Plaza at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) is located between the Student Union and the Alumni Amphitheater at the southern termination of the Academic Mall. Serving as a memorial for a late Rebel alumna, Valerie Pida Plaza is a central location for students to gather and socialize. While the plaza’s cobblestones serve as a popular hangout and study spot, the area also stands as a testament to the strength, will and dedication of former student Valerie Pida who died of cancer in 1992, but never relented in her commitment to academics and love for UNLV. The plaza was dedicated to her in 1991 and rededicated in 2000.
