With an eye to the past as well as to the future, UNLV President Carol C. Harter will deliver the annual State of the University address on Sept. 18.

In keeping with the celebration of UNLV's 40th anniversary, Harter will discuss the university's history as well as events of the past year and plans for the future.

She will give the State of the University address at 2:30 p.m. in the library of the new Paul B. Sogg Architecture Building.

A highlight of the event will be the unveiling of photographic portraits of all of UNLV's presidents. Harter is the university's seventh president. The portraits, a gift from the UNLV Alumni Association, will hang in the James R. Dickinson Library. All the past presidents have been invited to the event.
