Persons attempting to sell magazine subscriptions and identifying themselves as UNLV students are not working on any university-connected projects, according to UNLV officials.

Dr. Robert Ackerman, vice president for student services, said his office has received several complaints in recent weeks from people who have been approached at shopping malls by solicitors who identify themselves as UNLV students.

There are currently no university fund-raising projects involving the sale of magazine subscriptions or any other merchandise, Ackerman said.

Anyone who is approached by a solicitor who claims to be working on a student project should ask to see UNLV student identification and a letter of introduction from the sponsoring organization, Ackerman said.
