Breaking Tradition and Finding Success 
UNLV Grad
The college journey of a "typical" UNLV Rebel is ever-evolving and more complex. The average age of UNLV students is creeping upward. Not surprisingly, money is often a barrier for adult learners wishing to complete their degree. Thankfully, Community2Campus has scholarships to help them on their way, with 23 students receiving scholarships for the Spring 2013 semester.

Antarctic group photo
35 hearty travelers from Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and Michigan rendezvoused in Ushuaia, Argentina in early December to set out on a journey of a lifetime. Over ten days they explored the world's southernmost waters and continent. For some, the trip checked the seventh and final continent off their travel wish-list. For others, it was an opportunity to see and photograph landscapes and wildlife they had only ever read about. For all, it was a chance to learn about this stunning but sometimes forbidding part of our planet.
