Paint The N
Painting the N is a University of Nevada, Reno tradition that has endured for over a century now. Having you participate in keeping this landmark pearly white would be a wonderful way to show your Nevada pride. It’s a great hike as well!

Supplies for painting will be provided. Bring sunscreen, water, and close toed shoes suitable for hiking. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting paint on or dirty! There will be loose gravel and steep inclines on the trek up to the N. Fill out the online waiver.
Free trucker hats will be provided to the first 100 attendees!
Taste of Reno
Reno is home to countless restaurants serving delicious and diverse cuisines as well as local non-profits. This event will introduce students to some of our favorite places around town right in the heart of campus. Better yet, it’s free!
