Our official name

Our official name is the 91·çÃùÄñ³ª.

This should be used on first reference in all public-facing communications. “The University” should be used on second reference. While Intercollegiate Athletics uses “Nevada” as the name of the University, the Board of Regents and the President prefer that we use our full name.

For branding reasons, we do not use the acronym “UNR” in public-facing communications, although that is fine to use as an internal verbal shorthand when referring to the University. One exception to this rule is the 91·çÃùÄñ³ª School of Medicine, whose shorthand is UNR Med.
