University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe campus touches students, artists, community — and the world
Two years after its acquisition, the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe campus continues significant strides to strengthen its role as a vibrant pillar of the University and an engaged educational partner in the Tahoe community.
From creation of the world-class Tahoe Institute for Global Sustainability to specialized short-term classes on subjects ranging from geology to creative writing, the Lake Tahoe campus hosts a growing number of initiatives that support its focus on sustainability and environmental stewardship.
“We are excited about the substantial progress that we have made in our transition,” said Jeff Thompson, executive vice president and provost of the University. “We are successfully using this beautiful campus in many ways that benefit students, the local community and the global environment.”
The 18-acre Lake Tahoe Wayne L. Prim campus in Incline Village was acquired by the University on July 1, 2022. The campus, previously the home of Sierra Nevada University, is nestled in pines less than a mile from the shore of Lake Tahoe.
