Our Traditions
Long before Premier UNLV became a campus staple, a number of social events marked the beginning of the fall semester. From the Rebel Roast, a pre-class picnic and BBQ on the beaches of Lake Mead to the Howdy Dance, where new and old students got to mingle on the dance floor, Rebels knew how to kick off the school year with fun and flair.

Our Spirit
We’ve got spirit! How about you? Wear your scarlet and gray, show off your UNLV license plate, and show your Rebel Pride as you drive around town.
