Students at the UNLV Lee Business School gained a global perspective during their 10-day trip to Japan ✈️ There they learned how to incorporate adaptability, innovation, teamwork, and leadership into business practices.

“Businesses don’t always have the resources to solve every challenge on their own,” said MBA student Daniel Zappitello. “Collaboration is an effective way to develop meaningful solutions while still operating within your own expertise.”

They also documented a number of experiences observing how culture shapes Japan’s economic landscape.

UNLV researchers are working on an answer to the question of water sustainability by transforming wastewater into a reliable, non-potable resource.

“We're taking something that people don't want — wastewater — and making it into something they want,” said civil and environmental engineering professor Eakalak Khan. “People think it’s yucky, right? Now, we’re trying to change that mindset so that it's viewed as a resource. It’s usable, or reusable.” said Khan.

Danny Villanueva, ’15 BS Biological Sciences, studies one of the world’s rarest fish species: the Devils Hole pupfish.

As a undergraduate, he gained experience through volunteering and joining a research lab, which shaped his future as a conservation biologist.

Now, 10 years later, he returns to the UNLV College of Sciences to research behaviors that may contribute to the long-term conservation of this critically endangered species.

"This sport unites the world. It has opened my life to opportunities I don’t think I would have had otherwise. I don’t think I would be at UNLV if it wasn’t for soccer." Manolo Vazquez, an information systems major and incoming soccer captain, was raised in a family of soccer enthusiasts in Alcalá de Guadaíra, Spain ⚽️ He has carried that deep-rooted passion for the game all the way to UNLV.
