The event featured an official ribbon cutting ceremony and the

the Clark County Schools, US Representatives, and US Senators.
Dr. Hanbury accepted the proclamations on behalf of NSU.
The celebration proved to be a wonderful opportunity for graduates
to come and network with one another. The students in attendance
were able to share in the excitement and growth of the university
and prospective students came to learn about the degrees available
at the new center.
