About the Collection

UNLV’s diverse faculty, students, staff, and alumni promote community well-being and individual achievement through education, research, scholarship, creative activities, and clinical services. We stimulate economic development and diversification, foster a climate of innovation, promote health, and enrich the cultural vitality of the communities that we serve.

Up until March 2022, this publication was titled "Top Tier Focus." In March 2022, the Board of Regents approved UNLV's new strategic plan, Top Tier 2.0. This resulted in modifying the name of this publication to "Focus on Top Tier 2.0."
