We are so proud to have joined hands with the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) to bring new opportunities to all of Nevada students, and we are thrilled to congratulate NSHE on the launch of the new interactive career aptitude tool called “me3” which changes the way students explore their future!

The me3 platform, created and utilized by Arizona State University, is an innovative and free interactive
major and career quiz tool designed to help connect college majors with career interests for perspective
and current students.

“This interactive career aptitude tool will help students and parents create pathways to highly-skilled
careers in a new and innovative way,” said NSHE Chancellor Melody Rose. “The me3 platform can
provide the type of dialogue for our young people that will connect their interests to a career path, and
the necessary college credentials needed for success.”

“Our favorite two weeks of the year are the two weeks we get to spend with you guys.” ⁣ - Rory Reid | President ⁣🌟 #flashbackfriday

10/02/2020

Join acclaimed performer, music director, and producer, Ralph Farris, for a series of timely conversations about the current state of creative collaboration.

On Friday October 9th, starting at 9 AM Pacific / 12 PM Eastern, Ralph will lead a series of four Zoom sessions designed to explore how artists of all disciplines can continue to collaborate despite the turmoil we all currently face.

Co-Lab was originally conceived as an on-the-ground conference to be held during Ralph’s Las Vegas residency at the Rogers Art Loft. With it impossible to meet in person, Ralph has reimagined Co-Lab to explore what it means to collaborate today, under quarantine, during strife, despite uncertainty, and in the future.

To be one of only 100 participants in this exciting and informative discussion, RSVP at: https://bit.ly/2GcY6LD

Join panelists including Layale Chaker (violinist and composer), Molly McBride (producer and director), and Las Vegas’s own Jarrett & Raja (The Magic and Piano Guys), as they discuss methodologies and histories of successful (and not-so-successful!) collaborations and provide insights and best practices for working together during a pandemic.

All four conversations will take place via Zoom between 9 AM - 3 PM Pacific / 12 - 6 PM Eastern. Attendance is free with RSVP, but limited to the first 100 who respond. Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn and network with fellow creatives!
