During our Town Hall Meeting on Oct. 7 in the Joe Crowley Student Union, Provost Marc Johnson and I spoke about the University’s strategic plan. One of the themes of the plan concerns a renewed focus on entrepreneurship, across-discipline partnership and innovation. We realize that once the state recovers from double-digit unemployment and a recession that has hit all sectors of our economy with unprecedented force, things will never quite be the same again. As I noted in my remarks on Oct. 7, we can no longer count on the state to create the type of university that we wish to be. This task is up to us. More than ever before, if we are to realize our full potential as an institution, we must increasingly rely on the creation of new partnerships, both public and private, and we must determine the best ways to innovate and foster a more entrepreneurial culture on our campus.

Yesterday it was announced that a recently identified retrovirus has been linked to a debilitating neuro-immune disease, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which affects more than one million people in the United States. The retroviral link was discovered by scientists from the Whittemore Peterson Institute, which is based on our main Reno campus, and their collaborators from the National Cancer Institute and the Cleveland Clinic. The team recently published its groundbreaking findings in the journal, Science, one of the world’s leading scientific journals.

$10 million Pennington gift and a ‘Duh’ moment
Posted by glick on 07 Oct 2009 | Tagged as: Communications, Misc., Our Community, Out and About, University
I thoroughly enjoyed our annual Foundation Banquet on Thursday night at John Ascuaga’s Nugget. There were so many highlights: the event was sold-out and more than 900 people attended; our featured speaker, Harvard medical professor Dr. Atul Gawande, delivered an excellent talk on the struggle to perform well in any endeavor, as well as health care in the United States; it was announced during the banquet that the William N. Pennington Foundation has committed $10 million to the University for the purpose of a new Health Sciences Building. The Pennington gift, along with a $2.5 million gift from the Nell J. Redfield Foundation and a $1 million gift from the Thelma B. and Thomas P. Hart Foundation brings the total private investment in the building to $15 million. Continue Reading »
