The Nevada System of Higher Education reaffirms our strong commitment for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and our DACA students system-wide. We join our colleagues throughout the United States in urging Congress to find a permanent solution to maintain the residency status of DACA students.
The Nevada System of Higher Education, comprised of two doctoral-granting universities, a state college, four comprehensive community colleges and one environmental research institute, serves the educational and job training needs of Nevada.
NSHE provides educational opportunities to more than 107,600 students and is governed by the Nevada Board of Regents.
NSHE Spotlight
Beginning with the graduating class of 2018, Nevada students may apply for the Nevada Promise Scholarship at any one of four NSHE community colleges: College of Southern Nevada, Great Basin College, Truckee Meadows Community College, or Western Nevada College.
Sam Lieberman has been a longtime champion of higher education for over three decades in Nevada. A 1996 graduate of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas with a degree in Social Work, Regent Lieberman has committed himself to our university and community college system both as a student and an active alumnus.
Why do you want to serve on the Board of Regents?
Lieberman: I’ve been a student of the Board of Regents for a long time. I attended my first Board meeting as a student government representative in the early 80s and that experience felt like a natural path of what I wanted to do with my life.
I was active as a student at UNLV. I was involved as an alumnus at UNLV. And I was involved on various campuses as a volunteer and donor. To me, joining the Board of Regents was simply the next phase of my three-decade love affair with Nevada higher education.
