Holiday Cards Collection A look back at the greetings we've sent over this 50-year tradition. UNLV History September 10, 2024 By UNLV News Center UNLV History September 10, 2024 By UNLV News Center The 1982 holiday card was a simple Western-themed drawing. Sometimes the greetings, like these from 1983, 1986, and 1987, were on the generic side. While 1984's design had little to do with UNLV, what's not to love about a baby seal with ear muffs wishing for peace? The designs in 1991 and 1998. In 1988 card played on our iconic Flashlight sculpture and it references to the Mojave Desert. A desert tortoise brought tidings in 1990. The saguaro cactus, although not a native species to Southern Nevada's Mojave Desert, made an appearance on cards in 1992, 1994, and 1997. A peaceful night scene of the Las Vegas Strip in 1993. The Strip reappeared on the 1999 card. UNLV buildings became the focal point in 1995 (top left), 1996 (bottom left), and 2001, when the Lied Library opened. 2000 brought a nod to rock art of Southern Nevada's earliest inhabitants. And it was back to general artwork in 2003 and 2004. In 2005, we celebrated the installation of the Maureen Jackson Pipe Organ, the largest in the state. 2006 offered a glimpse of campus while 2007 celebrated some of the recipients of the scholarship program that the Holiday Card Tree campaign supports. In 2008 and 2011, the designers took a more whimsical approach to the card. Snow! On campus! The 2009 card featured the snowfall from Dec. 17, 2008. Snow! On campus! It's so rare we had to use it again on the 2010 card. Here's hoping we get another storm soon. The 2012 card played up enthusiasm for the Runnin' Rebels season. 2013 respected the 'stache. 2015's design played off the cookies served at campus holiday parties. The student-designed 2016 card. 2020's card reflected the times as we, collectively, experienced the effects of COVID-19. 2021 brought a simple graphic design that captured the spirit of Rebel red. In 2022, UNLV photographer Becca Schwartz created a series of miniature-lettered UNLV scenes, including this quaint holiday snowscape. 2023 saw an architectural take with this stunning, classical design. 2024 paints a magical campus scene that also shows off the famous Flashlight sculpture, located in the plaza between Artemus Ham Concert Hall and Judy Bayley Theatre.
