我们的传统

Long before 总理UNLV became a campus staple, a number of social events marked the beginning of the fall semester. 来自叛逆烤肉, a pre-class picnic and BBQ on the beaches of Lake Mead to the Howdy Dance, where new and old students got to mingle on the dance floor, Rebels knew how to kick off the school year with fun and flair.
