Message from the Director

Best Teaching Practices Expo: February 9, 11am-1pm


The Best Teaching Practices Expo is an annual celebration of excellent teaching by UNLV Faculty. Each year, faculty are invited to submit a poster proposal on a teaching strategy that works effectively with student learning.


This year’s Best Teaching Practices Expo will take place at the Student Union Ballroom on Thursday, February 9 from 11am - 1pm. Lunch will be provided. Please click here for more information and to RSVP.


Posters will be displayed and will outline a teaching practice, describe how it addresses students’ needs, and provide evidence of its benefits to UNLV students. Participating faculty will also include supporting resources and explain how other instructors can adopt these practices. You can preview posters now through DigitalScholarship@UNLV.


Take care,

Melissa Bowles-Terry

News You Can Use

Academic Success Center's Tutoring Lab


The ASC’s Tutoring Lab can be a great resource for students to succeed in your course. However, many students aren’t aware that this service is available and free of additional charge! If you would like to inform your students about the Tutoring Lab and invite them to utilize it throughout your course, here are a few options:

  1. Invite an ASC’s Tutoring Lab representative to give a short class presentation on our services. You can request this through this form.
  2. Provide your students with our website (www.unlv.edu/asc/tutoring). This website offers our subject availability, drop-in hours and our contact information.
  3. Incentivize your students to come to the Tutoring Lab. Many students say that encouragement and incentives from their instructor play a big role in convincing them to come to the Tutoring Lab. We have both in-person and online tutoring available. (If you would like to be notified, students can request that their instructor be notified when they utilize the Tutoring Lab. We are more than happy to do so.)


If there is any way we can support you and your students, please feel free to contact us at tutoring@unlv.edu or (702) 895-3199. Thank you!
