Henderson, Nev. Nevada State College will host a ceremony for the groundbreaking of its Liberal Arts and Sciences building Thursday, May 24, at 9 a.m. behind the college’s Dawson building located at 1125 Nevada State Drive, just off Paradise Hills Drive.
Governor Jim Gibbons, Henderson Mayor James B. Gibson, Chancellor Jim Rogers, University Regent Brett Whipple and Nevada State College President Dr. Fred Maryanski are scheduled to speak at the event.
This is a landmark for not only Nevada State College, but all of higher education in Nevada, Maryanski said. As Nevada State College continues to grow and flourish, the entire university system will be enhanced.
The liberal arts and sciences building to be located at 1021 E. Paradise Hills Drive will be the first building constructed on Nevada State College’s more than 500-acre campus in the foothills of Henderson. Master-planning of the campus is currently taking place.
Slated for completion in summer 2008, the new building will house classrooms, offices and meeting areas for students.
Nevada State College opened its doors to students in September 2002 after the Board of Regents and the Nevada State Legislature determined the need for enhanced educational opportunities in Southern Nevada in 1997. The college, which has experienced double-digit annual growth in student enrollments for the past five years, currently enrolls 1,950 students.
NSC offers progressive bachelor’s programs in several in-demand fields of study as well as a low student-to-professor ratio and competitive tuition rates.
Representatives from Carpenter Sellers Architects and Core Construction who are working on the project will also be on hand for the event.

Nursing Graduates Pinning Ceremony: May 22, 2007
Henderson, Nev. Thirty-two nursing students will be honored at Nevada State College’s annual pinning ceremony Tuesday, May 22, at 4 p.m. at the Henderson Convention Center located at 200 S. Water Street, just off Atlantic Avenue.
Pinning ceremonies are a tradition in the nursing field. Students will be pinned by a family member or friend.
We’re proud to graduate another 32 qualified nurses into Southern Nevada’s workforce, said Dr. Fred Maryanski, president of Nevada State College. This ceremony represents both the hard work these students have completed to earn their degrees and NSC’s evolution as a college. Its growth over the last several years is evidence that programs such as these are needed, in demand and having a direct and positive impact on our community.
The pins students will receive are also a tradition at Nevada State College, as they were designed by an NSC graduate.
Upon graduation, students must pass their National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX) in order to become licensed registered nurses. The NCLEX exams are given by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
NSC’s official commencement ceremony for the entire college will take place Thursday, May 24, from 7-8:30 p.m. at the Henderson Pavilion located at 200 S. Green Valley Parkway, just off Paseo Verde Parkway.

Judge Dismisses Case Against State Public Works Board
Henderson, Nev. Construction of Nevada State College’s Liberal Arts and Sciences building will begin next week after a case against the state’s Public Works Board was dismissed in District Court today.
While the college was not part of the lawsuit, this potential delay had the possibility of being very damaging to our institution, said Nevada State College President Dr. Fred Maryanski. We are happy the situation got rectified so quickly and we are moving forward. Nevada State College has a lot of momentum right now and this is an important project for us as we continue to serve the residents of this state.
District Court Judge Stewart Bell dismissed the case brought against the state’s Public Works Board by a losing bidder for the construction contract. The company had claimed that the Public Works Board violated state law by requiring bidders use a particular brand for the building’s laboratory cabinetry. Because of the lawsuit, the company was granted a temporary injunction last week which actually halted the construction of the building, which was scheduled to begin on April 9.
The liberal arts and sciences building to be located at 1021 E. Paradise Hills Drive will be the first building constructed on Nevada State College’s more than 500-acre campus in the foothills of Henderson. Master-planning of the campus is currently taking place.
Construction of the building will now begin on April 23.
A lot of people, a lot of students have waited a long time for this day, said Maryanski of the first dirt being moved for construction on the campus. It’s a tribute to many visionary people throughout the state of Nevada.
An official groundbreaking ceremony which had to be rescheduled due to the temporary injunction is currently being planned.
Slated for completion in summer 2008, the new building will house classrooms, offices and meeting areas for students.
