The University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) is seeking campus and community input in the selection of a logo to celebrate its 150th anniversary. Members of the community can select their favorite logo online starting Jan. 30 through Monday, Feb. 6.

Nevada’s original land grant university UNR opened its doors to seven students in Elko, on Oct. 12, 1874. The University will celebrate its 150th anniversary on Oct. 12, 2024.

“Since we first welcomed students to classes on Oct. 12, 1874, the University has become central to the success of our state,” University President Brian Sandoval said. “Our yearlong 150th-anniversary celebration will be a time for us to recognize and share the collective achievements of our institution – throughout our history, into the present day as well as into our future.”

The celebration of UNR's 150-year history will begin in October 2023 and conclude on its anniversary in October 2024. The sesquicentennial celebration will include special events, stories of the University’s history and other planned activities.
