Description
With an uncertain beginning in the sparsely populated remote northern Nevada town of Elko, a preparatory school opened its doors in October 1874 through the Morrill Act that sought to establish land-grant universities across the nation. Seven students began their higher education experience with dreams of a better future, but they probably could not have predicted that their alma mater would one day become the University of Nevada, Reno, a nationally classified Carnegie R1 "Very High Research" institution.

As both the University's student body and the state's population grew, the campus was transferred to Reno in 1885-86 as an effort to secure the fledgling institution's prospects for survival. Many of the initial class of thirty-five students resided in Morrill Hall, the only building on campus, where they also received instruction and ate their meals. As the University enhanced its academic offerings, enrollment grew to more than 1,000 students by the turn of the century. A strong belief that the University must always be changing and evolving to meet the needs of its students and answer the challenges of a particular era became the guiding forces behind the administration's decision-making. With an increasingly diverse student body and one of the most productive academic faculties in the country, the little school on the hill expanded during its first 100 years to become a leading public university in the western United States.

Today, the University continues to achieve institutional benchmarks, including a record 5,000 graduates during the 2019-20 academic year. It is exactly this kind of student success that has always been at the heart of the Wolf Pack Family's mission to help students find the path that is right for them, and beckon others to share in their journey.

The 150th anniversary book is published in honor of this milestone and highlights numerous parts of the University's history, showcasing why the University of Nevada, Reno has truly been a catalyst for success and change throughout the state's story.
