Dear Colleagues,
In the wake of our recent tragedy, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the families, friends, students, and colleagues of those we lost. I want to express my unwavering support for each and every member of the UNLV family. I respect the importance of self-care, recognize that you may be experiencing trauma, and encourage you to visit unlvstrong.unlv.edu for resources.
In times like these, it becomes crucial for us to come together as a community to support one another. The strength of our university lies in the resilience and compassion of our faculty, staff, and students. I want to reassure you that the UNLV Faculty Center is here to offer support and resources to help us navigate through these difficult moments.
In addition to self-care, I know you have an immediate need to finish your fall courses as described in the message from President Whitfield. This Resource Document has been compiled to assist you.
Virtual lab support will be available at this link in partnership with the Office of Online Education and Information Technology Monday, December 11 through Friday, December 15 daily from 10 a.m. -12 p.m. and 1 p.m. - 3 p.m.
Any faculty who needs to borrow equipment can contact the IT Help Desk directly. Help Desk services are available by phone 8 am to 8 pm daily at 702-895-0777. Faculty can also submit a help desk ticket, or email ithelp@unlv.edu.
Starting Monday, December 11, Help Desk in-person services will be based out of the Lied Library Building alongside several other service areas for the ease of students and staff. The 11th is the only day next week in-person help will be available on a drop-in basis from 8 am to 5 pm. However, faculty can request an in-person appointment for the rest of the week. The Help Desk will share additional times and schedules later this week.
In the coming days and weeks, we’ll be working with a team of UNLV experts to assist you with trauma informed teaching techniques that will help you support students when they return to classes. If you have immediate needs for this information, our colleagues at Michigan State and Northern Illinois University reached out to share the resources they created in response to the tragedies on their campuses:
Together, as a resilient community, we will navigate through these difficult times, leaning on one another and emerging stronger than ever. If you have any specific concerns or needs, please do not hesitate to contact us at facultycenter@unlv.edu.
Please take care,
Beth Barrie
Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning Innovation
