CREATIVITY THAT INSPIRES. From photography to jazz to theatre, Nevada will help you grow into the artist you aspire to be.

The School of Arts is the epicenter of the University’s booming performing and visual arts scene and is comprised of the departments of art, music, theatre and dance. Programs, events and course offerings enrich the cultural life on campus and throughout the region.

Places and spaces: The John and Geraldine Lilley Museum of Art and the award-winning Black Rock Press present opportunities to view world-class visual artists as well as student and faculty artwork. Performance venues include the Harlan O. and Barbara R. Hall Recital Hall, Nightingale Concert Hall, Redfield Proscenium Theatre and the Redfield Studio Theatre. The fabrication lab, electroacoustic lab, and recording studio provide creative spaces where students can develop inspired works.

UNIVERSITY MAKERSPACES USED 3D PRINTERS TO CREATE PANDEMIC PPE The University’s makerspaces and 3D printers—and the folks who operate them—churned out face shields, battery packs for powered air-purifying respirators, facemasks, and patterns and kits to support the creation of personal protective equipment (PPE) for use in area healthcare settings.

Interim Area Head of the John Ben Snow Sculpture Center, Jeffrey Erickson, and Manager of the Art Department Fabrication Lab (“Fab Lab”) Nicole Miller, quickly applied their problem-solving skills and creativity to answer the call from local doctors to make PPE. “Experimentation, imagination and interdisciplinary collaboration are all core values of the Fab Lab,” Miller said. “In this case, we were able to quickly transition to the production of PPE by reimagining and redirecting our skill sets through creative design to solve real-world problems.”

YOUNG WOLF PACK BOTS ADVANCE IN LEGO COMPETITION, BUILDING STUDENTS’ ROBOTICS SKILLS, CONFIDENCE AND LITERACY

Image by Madeleine Burke via the UNR Innevation Center

When Rachel Salas, Director for the Center of Learning and Literacy, participated in the First LEGO League program with her daughter years ago, she noticed the amazing benefits it had for young students. By building robots with LEGO pieces, participants learned STEM, robotics and language concepts, too.

Now Salas, along with University student mentors, coaches the Wolf Pack Bots, a team comprised of students in grades 3-6. Salas, who initiated the Center’s First LEGO League robotics program in 2017, said the program continues to help children gain confidence.

Each year, LEGO reveals a science-related theme, and participants receive a game mat with LEGO pieces.

This game mat has missions related to the theme, and the goal is to design and program a robot that accomplishes these missions within 2.5 minutes. Salas also works with the team to find researchers in the community, such as University faculty and staff or local experts, to speak with the children and help them formulate ideas for their research problem and possible solutions.

The Wolf Pack Bots team won the state-level Innovation Project Award at the First LEGO League Nevada State Championship in May 2021, and they are moving on to the regional finals. Salas was also honored with the coach/mentor award.

Running Wolf and a group of screenwriters won best of competition in the narrative video category for their short film Black Warrior of Pyramid Lake—a dark comedy and psychological thriller about a Native American FBI agent and a white narcotics officer teaming up to chase down two serial killers.

Running Wolf said one of the main reasons for producing the film was to build trust between the University and tribal communities.

“It’s not utopian by any means, but we began a process of creating a new sense of community, a new sense of identity. Through the work, we started to rebuild trust between Native and non-Native populations.” Read full article at unr.edu/nevada-today

BENUTO SERVES LATINX AND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES WITH CULTURALLY SENSITIVE, EVIDENCE-BASED CARE

Lorraine Benuto began her career at the University in 2009 as a postdoctoral fellow working for the Victims of Crime Treatment Center providing free, evidence-based therapy in English and Spanish to women and children who had experienced severe trauma and abuse.

Soon after joining the Department of Psychology’s faculty in 2016, Benuto founded La Cliníca, a specialty clinic offering free mental health services to Latinas who have experienced domestic violence, assault, or sexual abuse. La Cliníca helped to fill a void in Nevada by providing access to bilingual mental health services, economically accessible care, and by promoting mental health literacy within the Latinx community.

Benuto has also used La Cliníca and her role at the University to recruit and train nearly two dozen graduate students, many of whom are Latinx, in culturally sensitive psychological services. More recently, Benuto developed and launched Psychology Research Opportunities for Underrepresented and Diverse students (PROUD), a program that provides professional development and research opportunities to help undergraduate students become competitive applicants for graduate school.

In addition to her outreach and service efforts at the University and in the local community, Benuto’s research on culturally tailored evidence-based psychotherapies for Latinx individuals has become some of the most cited in the field. As part of her research efforts, Benuto and her research team developed a video to help reduce stigma toward behavioral healthcare in the Latinx community.

THE WOLF PACK WAY: PROBLEM-SOLVING CURIOSIT Y. SAR AH BISBING, PH.D. BRINGS HUMANIT Y TO FOREST SCIENCE We encourage you to find ways to enhance the quality of life and economic vitality of our communities by leveraging sustainable advances in biological technologies and the environmental sciences.

“The fluttering of quaking aspen leaves in the wind. The smell of a subalpine forest at dawn. The taste of a freshlypicked huckleberry. The skin-tingling sensation of jumping into a frigid alpine lake. The awe of viewing a glacier calve.

These moments bring peace and connection and breathe life into me—experiences I never imagined could be mine during my childhood in Chicago, where exposure to the natural world was a beach day on the urban shores of Lake Michigan. At 19, a trip with friends to a handful of western national parks gave me my first glimpse into both the tranquility but also the curiosity that evolves from time spent exploring natural ecosystems. I am inherently inquisitive, independent, and, as an ambitious individual, thrive when exposed to slower, quieter, calming experiences.

The natural world proved to be a perfect match for these traits and for my insatiable need to adventure, explore, and 17 l University of Nevada, Reno

investigate. And, once introduced to the wild and rugged forests of the West, I was hooked. I have spent every possible day since exploring, learning, observing, and experimenting in forests from Alaska to California and into the Rocky Mountains.

In these pursuits, I aspire to understand the processes driving the patterns we observe in forest composition and structure and to identify the fate of these patterns and processes in the face of a rapidly changing climate. I work at the intersection of theoretical and applied ecology, using well-established concepts to influence the management and conservation of forest ecosystems. We, as forest ecologists and managers, are using the knowledge gained over the last few decades of climate change and altered disturbance regimes to act, to build resilience into our forest ecosystems, and to sustain the goods and services we all so value in our forests. I may speak for the trees, but I do it for your children and mine.”

THE WOLF PACK WAY: CARE THAT SAVES LIVES. WHILE NEVADA WAS ON LOCKDOWN, ORVIS NURSING STUDENTS WORKED THE FRONT LINES Reimagining health science requires a multi-faceted approach – one that blends multiple perspectives in its curriculum, including emotional, spiritual, environmental, and physical.

If you are up to the challenge, the University of Nevada, Reno can help you reach your goals.

As the global pandemic unfolded, nurses were recognized for their compassionate and tireless efforts. The word “hero” emerged as a worthy title, and Orvis School of Nursing Class of 2021 students earned their stripes.

While many were sheltering in place, Orvis students leaned into the chaos with an even stronger desire to become nurses. Students volunteered in the community and at local hospitals, risking their well-being to help others.

Those Orvis students included Taylor Tito and Kate Hirsh, who helped administer vaccines and testing alongside many of their classmates. Student Zohra Benbrahim worked in the COVID-19 ICU as a nurse apprentice. As they head into the workforce—and many already have jobs in local hospitals—Orvis grads will continue to provide care to the community and the world.

“The movie The Matrix shows a scary virtual world formed by digital data streams, but isn’t it cool to have a data stream reflecting all the details of our traffic world that we can use to save lives, time, and energy?

That is what I do with my research on roadside LiDAR networks.

I had heard about LiDAR sensors, a major component of autonomous vehicles for high-accuracy spatial point measurement data, but it had been too expensive —more like tools for rich companies or programs. A price of only $8,000 was the threshold price for my research program and an acceptable price for roadside traffic sensing systems. It was the moment that I have prepared myself for many years and it suddenly happened.

Yes, the data is beautiful, unique, accurate, and full of details. I was happy — even a bit crazy with glee — when I opened the data file from the first roadside test. I guess it’s like when the protagonist of The Matrix saw the raw data flow of his virtual world for the first time. At that moment, I knew that the sensor data would change transportation engineering a lot! Moving LiDAR sensors from vehicles to roadside infrastructure is the silver bullet for traffic data and information. It generates the data stream of our real world with fantastic detail and accuracy.

In 2017, we set up the world’s first LiDAR-equipped, smart-andconnected intersection in Reno, Nevada. In 2019, we implemented the world’s first LiDAR-controlled pedestrian crossing signal, the first real-time traffic signal system controlled by cloud point sensing data. In 2021, the University and Velodyne LiDAR published the first-in-class white paper that demonstrates the ability of LiDAR sensors to make transportation infrastructure more efficient, sustainable, and safe.”

FIRST GEN STUDENT VAZQUEZ FEEDS MIND AND BODY IN PURSUIT OF M.D. DEGREE Tasha Vazquez, graduate of the College of Science and third-year medical student at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine, exudes the confidence and warmth characteristic of a seasoned physician. As an undergraduate biology major, she not only discovered her passion for culinary medicine and adopted a plant-based diet, but helped launch the Culinary Medicine Curriculum Committee currently implemented at the medical school.

During her undergraduate studies, this firstgeneration student found support and community as a TRiO Scholar and enrolled in the medical school’s Post-Baccalaureate early assurance admission program to create a clear path to medical school.

Vazquez also took a course in epigenetics which piqued her interest with the idea that environment, behaviors and nutrition could change how a person’s genes work. She describes it as “coding on top of our genetics” that can be passed down from one generation to another.”

“That was one of the subjects that lead me toward

rethinking my relationship with food and nutrition,” Vazquez said.

She followed that curiosity with additional research and discovered the subject of gut microbiome. “These are, in the order of billions, bugs on the inside of your digestive tract. One of the number one things they eat is cellulose which is what makes up the majority of plants. Nuts, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables—when you eat those you, in turn, feed your gut microbiome which play an enzymatic role in just about every system in your body.”

The more she learned about the importance of gut flora, the more she refined her nutrition, adopting a whole-foods plant-based diet that she still follows today.

In her final year as an undergraduate, Vazquez connected with Ranna Nash and the two launched an initiative which became the Culinary Medicine Curriculum Committee (CMCC).

Soon, Nash and Vazquez were joined by a pediatrician, a registered dietician and several other

students. In her first year of medical school, Vazquez was helping to implement the now official curriculum at the medical school by leading hands-on workshops.

“Most of the courses from the CMCC are cooking workshops,” Vazquez said. “They begin with a 15-20-minute presentation, and then proceed with cooking workshops in which the students prepare the food and taste it. That way, when they are having conversations with their patients in the future, it’s coming from a very real place, it’s coming from an understanding of what’s realistic for patients to be able to do at home, what tastes good and what’s realistic for them to adopt into their lifestyles and diets.”

The CMCC hopes to expand the program, eventually offering similar courses designed for the general population.

Once a physician, Vazquez’s career will serve as a testament to the success of the program she helped to create.
