Here at Continuing Education, we are always looking for opportunities to better serve the evolving needs of our city. The emergence of vibrant business, residential, and creative communities downtown has inspired us to open new downtown classroom spaces at Neonopolis, Historic Fifth Street School, and other partner locations. Personal enrichment courses at Neonopolis like “Neon Night Photography” will capture the vibe of our unique city. Select professional development courses will also move to Neonopolis to better serve the nearby business community. The Historic Fifth Street School will remain the home base of our Nonprofit Management program. Thanks to their central location, our downtown classrooms are ideal for custom training. We can tailor the site and curriculum to meet the specific needs of your staff or group. Do you have another bright idea for our program team? We can be reached at 702-895-3394 or continuing.education@unlv.edu. We also wanted to let you know our bright ideas in operations have been recognized with a national award from Learning Resources Network (LERN), an international association for lifelong learning programs. We are excited and look forward to better serving your needs now and in the future.

HOW TO DEAL WITH DISAGREEMENTS, CONFLICT & CONFRONTATION

ACCENT REDUCTION FOR INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONALS

Do not let disagreements, conflict, or confrontation undermine your personal or professional life. Reduce the stress and fear often associated with conflict by learning to distinguish between disagreements and misunderstandings, following rules for fighting fair during conflict, and knowing how to face an angry person.

Precise articulation is essential for effective presentations, motivating employees, and inspiring customer confidence. Even if you are proficient in English grammar and vocabulary, a strong regional or foreign accent can still make clear communication difficult in the workplace. Take this opportunity to develop the skills you need to correctly pronounce the sounds of American English so your accent is no longer a business liability. The required textbook, Mastering Effective English Communication: The Vowel System of American English, is available at the UNLV Bookstore.

ACCENT REDUCTION FOR INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONALS: LEVEL II Coworkers and customers will notice a positive difference when you master additional techniques for improving your English pronunciation. Learn techniques native speakers use in producing fluent speech such as linking sounds, reduction, and intonation patterns. After the Level II class, you will be able to speak English with clearer pronunciation, meet difficult challenges in speech clarity for your job, and improve your voice intonation, rate, and rhythm. The required textbook, Mastering Effective English Communication: The Consonant System of American English, is available at the UNLV Bookstore.

Day Tr i ps EXPLORE THE FOUR NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES OF SOUTHERN NEVADA–ONE AT A TIME

Exploring & Travel

Southern Nevada is home to four spectacular national wildlife refuges. All are memorable both for their landscapes and their unique, complex ecosystems. Leader Bruce Lund is a botanist and biologist with more than a decade guiding field trips and teaching natural history programs in Southern Nevada. Receive $10 off your registration when you sign up for more than one NWR excursion.

Desert National Wildlife Refuge The wild life in Las Vegas is second-rate compared to the REAL WILDLIFE of the Desert National Wildlife Refuge just 20 miles north of the Strip. This largest national wildlife refuge (2,300 square miles) in the lower 48 states encompasses the Sheep Mountain Range and was established in 1936 for the protection of the desert bighorn sheep. Start the day with an hour visit to the new visitor center and short easy trail walk to see some of the wetland habitat restoration. Then we will hop into the vans for a spectacular drive on back roads up and over the Sheep Mountains through spectacular mountain, desert, and forest scenery with occasional stops for stretches and close looks at wildflowers, birds, and (if we’re lucky) bighorn sheep. Bruce Lund Sat | Sep 13 | 8am-5pm | $95* Departs from PAR back parking lot | 143EX1227

Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge

Moapa Valley National Wildlife Refuge Visit one of the smallest of the 530+ national wildlife refuges. It is just 119 acres, but it is a gem! Three warm springs and their streams are the only place where two fish and a suite of aquatic insects live on planet Earth. Get a closer look through a unique 30-foot viewing window into a living stream side. Plan to spend the day walking on easy trails (with benches for sitting) among palm trees, exploring the warm springs and streams, and seeing colorful dragonflies and damselflies (participate in live catch and release), fossil corals, and more up close. Bruce Lund Sat | May 17 | 8:30am-4pm | $95* Departs from PAR back parking lot | 141EX1230

Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge Discover the lakes, wetlands, and wildlife at a 5,380 acre aquatic oasis at the boundary of the Mojave Desert and the Great Basin. Three lakes interspersed with marshes create a critical migration resting and feeding stop for ducks, geese, shorebirds, and songbirds. Be driven some 100 miles north of Las Vegas up Rte. 93 past spectacular mountain and desert scenery and through an ancient volcanic pass to overlook the refuge’s lakes and marshes. Plan to spend the day walking flat trails along lakes and marshlands with some of southern Nevada’s best views of waterfowl and songbirds, plus encounter colorful dragonflies, butterflies, and other pollinator insects (participate in live catch and release).

Amazing as it may seem, 26 plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth live within the 23,000 acre Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, about 100 miles west of Las Vegas near Pahrump, Nevada. This is the greatest concentration of endemic species in the United States. Meet some of them as we explore some of the 50 springs and seeps, enchanting marshlands, streams, and ash/mesquite groves in the middle of a harsh landscape of the Mojave Desert alkali flats. Expect to walk two to three miles on boardwalks and maintained trails with spectacular mountain and desert views and to meet wildflowers, birds, butterflies and dragonflies (participate in live catch and release).

There are a variety of permits—daily, weekly, monthly or annually—available for purchase at Parking and Transportation Services on the main campus. Daily ($3) and weekly ($7) permits are available at the Information Desk at the Paradise campus. Visit parking.unlv.edu for the most up-to-date information. Parking at Neonopolis is free for the first hour, then $1 per hour up to a maximum of $5 per day.

Disability Services Through an active and continuing affirmative action program, the university provides equal opportunity and treatment in employment, admissions, and all programs in an effort to avoid discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, and disability. If you have a documented disability requiring assistance, you will need to contact the Disability Resource Center to coordinate necessary academic accommodations. The Disability Resource Center is located on the main campus and can be reached at 702-895-0866.

Student Privacy In accordance with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas policy and the U.S. Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), UNLV vigorously protects the privacy of student education records. UNLV does not release private records of individual students, such as grades and class schedules, without prior written consent of the student. As permitted under federal law, the sole exception to the above practice is the release of “directory” information considered to be public in nature and not generally deemed to be an invasion of privacy. At UNLV, the following categories are defined as “directory” information: name, address, email address, telephone number, dates of attendance, full-time/parttime status, academic major, college and grade level, heights and weights of members of athletic teams, academic honors, other academic institutions recently attended, participation in UNLV organizations, and degrees earned and dates attended.

Books & Supplies Unless otherwise noted in the course description, all books and class-specific supplies are included in your registration payment.

Class Cancellations We reserve the right to cancel class or make any changes to the schedule deemed necessary in order to provide our students with the best educational experience.

Refunds We recognize you may occasionally need to cancel a registration. Unless a separate policy is stated for a specific class or classes, the following applies to all cancellations and refunds: Prior to the first day of class 100 percent of the fee paid will be refunded minus a $10 administrative fee. If you wish to receive a refund, we must receive a written statement (email, fax, or postal mail) listing the course name and number, and giving the reason for cancellation. Requests for refunds can be emailed to continuing.education@unlv.edu, faxed to 702-895-4195, or mailed to Continuing Education, 4505 S. Maryland Parkway, Box 451019, Las Vegas, NV 89154-1019. There will be no refunds issued after the first class. The complete refund policy can be found by visiting continuingeducation.unlv.edu/ registration-policies.

Wait Lists All of our classes have a maximum number of seats available for registration. With our enrollments increasing and courses becoming more and more popular, we are seeing more classes than ever filling up. Once a class fills up, we will have to put you on a wait list. If a

seat in the class becomes available or if we have enough people on the wait list to open a new section, we will contact you. Register early to assure yourself a seat in the class.

CEUs A number of courses in this catalog offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs). The Continuing Education Unit is a standard unit of measure for quantifying continuing adult education and training activities. One CEU equals 10 contact hours of participation in an organized education/training experience under responsible, qualified direction and instruction.

Attendance Policy Attendance is required for all Continuing Education classes. Please communicate with your instructor on what to do if you need to miss a class.

Student Code of Conduct A detailed Student Code of Conduct policy is available on the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs’ website. Students are responsible for adhering to this code of conduct while participating in all UNLV programs and services.

Copyright Policy The university requires all members of the university community to familiarize themselves a n d t o f o l l o w c o p y r i g h t a n d f a i r- u s e requirements.
