UNLV Executive MBA

What an incredible night! 🎉

Last week, members of the UNLV EMBA Cohort 24 showed up in full force to celebrate one of our own at the Las Vegas 40 Under 40 awards. Watching our alumni honoree take the stage while surrounded by the energy and support of their cohort community was a reminder of exactly why this program is so special.

The UNLV EMBA is proud to have sponsored this event — an evening that recognizes the next generation of leaders shaping the future of Las Vegas and beyond. Seeing current students cheer on a program alumnus is a testament to the bonds built inside and outside the classroom.

To Jose Orozco: you earned every bit of this recognition. And to Cohort 24 — this is what community looks like.

Today UNLV is hosting its annual 24-hour day of giving, Rebels Give—a moment when the Rebel community comes together to invest in the success of our students and the future of our university. At Lee Business School, we see the impact of these investments every day.

During this year’s Rebels Give, Lee Business School is highlighting several priority areas that directly support student opportunity:

Building Business Together – our campaign to create a new home for Lee Business School

Lee Business School General Scholarship Fund – supporting access and student success

Lee Business School Hardship Fund – providing emergency support for students facing unexpected financial challenges

Thank you for your continued partnership and support of Lee Business School.

Learning goes further when experience leads the conversation.

Thank you to Michael Pizzi, Senior Vice President and Nevada Market Executive at MidFirst Bank, and James Bristow, CEO and Managing Partner at Midnight Sun Consulting, for sharing your time, expertise, and candid experiences with our students.

This is just one example of how we bring business in action into the UNLV EMBA Program, connecting classroom learning with real-world leadership insights.

Our alumni play an important role in shaping the future of the UNLV Executive MBA community.

We invite you to extend a personal invitation to individuals in your network who may be considering the next step in their leadership and career journey. EMBA Preview Day offers prospective students an immersive look into the UNLV Executive MBA experience.

If you know a colleague, peer, or leader who would benefit from this experience, we encourage you to share the attached flyer and invite them to join us.
