Carson Nugget Hall was brimming with excellence on Thursday, April 29.
With the Associated Students of Western Nevada presenting its annual Awards and Appreciation
Reception, it was an opportunity to honor students, faculty and staff for their excellence
and contributions in academics, instruction, leadership and service over the past
year.
Only dignitaries and people receiving and presenting awards were permitted to attend
the in-person reception because of COVID event capacity restrictions, but others were
able to view the event on Zoom.
