UNLV's Top Tier Award Recipients

Neuroscientist Jefferson Kinney, museum director Alisha Kerlin, and engineer professor Kwang Kim win 2017 recognition.

The UNLV Top Tier Award honors employees for their outstanding contributions to UNLV and its mission to be a Top Tier university. While everyone associated with UNLV works toward fulfilling this mission, the efforts of some people present an extraordinary example of commitment. The UNLV Top Tier Award pays tribute to these people. 2017 is the inaugural year for the award.
