Dr. Tanya Crabb and guest host Ailisha Vaughn, are joined by Alisha Kerlin to discuss UNLV's Barrick Museum here at UNLV. 

Alisha Kerlin encourages dialogue about art and ideas through interdisciplinary programs and innovative exhibitions linked to wide-ranging community outreach. With full graduate faculty status, she received the UNLV College of Fine Arts Outstanding Administrative Faculty of the Year in 2017. In the same year, she earned an inaugural UNLV Top Tier award, confirming her academic excellence, creative activity, and pursuit of research befitting a Top Tier institution. Kerlin played a vital role in the Barrick’s transition from UNLV’s “hidden jewel” into an award-winning university art museum. She introduced practices that brought the organization of the visual art collection in line with international museum standards. Committed to making the Barrick an accessible resource for all, she has created initiatives that target both the academic community and K-12 schoolchildren. In the first year, the Bus to the Barrick program brought over a thousand visitors to campus, most of them for the first time. Kerlin also rebranded the institution by adding “of Art” to the name, solidifying the fifty-year-old museum as a gathering place for the creative community. A graduate of the University of Tennessee (BFA) and the Milton Avery Graduate School of Arts, Bard College (MFA), she connects the university to a top-tier cohort of emerging scholars and artists. Kerlin’s own artwork has been shown at institutions ranging from P3Studio at The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas, to the Museum of Modern Art’s PS1 Museum in New York.

Tune in to learn more about UNLV's Community Garden, and how students like Tara Pike-Nordstrom and Andie Davis are serving the community of Las Vegas.

Andie Davis has a passion for plants that can be traced back to early high school. Now, her passion has carried into college, inspiring the sophomore to join the UNLV Community Garden as an intern in 2019 and work her way up to the community garden coordinator just a year later.


She knew the garden was a wonderful opportunity to bring campus closer together, so she set off on a mission to make this happen when in-person classes resumed in 2021.


“With relaunching the community garden, my goal was to bring the word ‘community’ back into the name.” 

The UNLV Campus Community Garden is made up of 41 garden beds open to anyone in groups of four on campus, from registered student organizations to faculty, for the school year. The garden welcomes everyone — even those who lack a “green thumb” — as each group is provided with the information needed to make their gardens grow. The members are then welcome to take their food home and enjoy their hard work once the plants are grown.


Description: The facilities management department consists of multiple sections that are devoted to protecting and preserving state supported facilities, equipment and assets. These consist of some 69 buildings covering nearly 3.9 million square feet and 360 acres over the Maryland (332), Paradise (10) and Shadow Lane (18) campuses. Sections include work management, facilities maintenance, landscape and grounds, energy management, custodial services, Rebel Recycling and finance and business operations.

Tune in to hear about how the food pantry could benefit you and your loved ones!

The UNLV Food Pantry Farmers Market will be celebrating its one year anniversary in February! The potential date for our Farmers Market event is February 11, 2023 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The purpose of our Farmers Market event is to reduce food insecurity among the Las Vegas Community by providing additional food to support those in need. Anyone is welcome to come and obtain food. No identification is required. The food provided will vary including perishable, non-perishable and non-food items. There is no cost for anyone to attend our event.


This Farmers Market takes place in front of the Stan Fulton parking lot (900 Cottage Grove Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89119). During our event, individuals can obtain food through walk-up options. For our one year anniversary, we wanted to have other organizations and programs promoting their services for individuals to come and check out. We would prefer for the items provided to be at low to no cost, for many of the individuals who come are used to not providing monetary funds at our event. This would be a great opportunity for your organization to be promoted! We thought that since half of our attendees tend to be UNLV Students/Staff/Faculty that they could benefit from having the UNLV Caps from having a table promoting its services.

What are MSI, HSI, and AANAPISI?

Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) are U.S. colleges and universities that enroll a high percentage of minority students. Because minority populations have experienced disproportionate barriers to higher education, the federal government provides financial support through various titles of the Higher Education Act.

MSI institutions under the Title III eligibility designation include Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI), Tribal Colleges and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU).

The federal government includes institutions that serve high percentages of Hispanic Americans and other underrepresented populations under Title V eligibility for the HSI designation.

The group also discusses what it means to be economically diverse and what groups of people are currently dominating the entrepreneurial field. Tune in to learn more about interesting Economic research topics like the number one thing employees want from employers, how the pandemic helped the utilization of economics and much more! 

Andrew Woods brings more than 15 years of experience as a business and public affairs professional, complemented with a B.A. cum laude in Political Science and Economics from American University, scholarly work at University College London, and a M.A. in Public Policy from The University of Chicago. Prior to joining UNLV’s CBER, Andrew started and ran a successful economic analysis, financial management, and public affairs consulting firm, as CEO of Woods Strategies, in Las Vegas, Nevada. His expertise in applying data and research to strengthen organizations and communities has led him to hold many leadership positions both in the public and private sector.

From the Halls of Congress to Carson City, and in the C-Suite Andrew has been involved in the public policy process on behalf of his clients and has a passion for data driven solutions to complex problems. Originally from the suburbs of Seattle, Washington, Andrew’s academic and professional background has afforded him opportunities to travel and live in some of the most exciting metropolitan cities around the world. These experiences profoundly impacted Andrew to be more aware, curious, and thoughtful about economic development and sparked his interest to do more to strengthen research in education, transportation, workforce development and economic diversification, and other policy areas important to business and government. Andrew’s knowledge of and interest in a variety of diverse policy issues is why he is a regular contributor to journalism outlets such as Nevada Public Radio and the Las Vegas Sun.

In his free time, you will find Andrew reading The Economist and Wall Street Journal, practicing his French, starting conversations with strangers, or enjoying the great outdoors. He lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with his longtime partner, Lisa, and their adopted pets.
