My Professional Origin Story with Monika Neda

Join UNLV’s Graduate College on Thursday, Apr. 17, 3 p.m.-5 p.m. to hear the inspiring professional journey of Monika Neda

The My Professional Origin Story series highlights the professional journeys of UNLV faculty and administrators. Origin stories matter. Understanding how people came to be where they are can give us insight into where we might be headed or how our own journeys unfold. Neda shared with the Graduate College that her younger self would never have imagined where she would be today. Even in the face of political and financial uncertainty, she persevered through it all — with the support of her home community and family. During her lecture, she will take a deep dive into her origin story. 

The event, which is open to the entire UNLV community, will take place in the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art Auditorium and will be livestreamed on YouTube.

This series is free and open to the UNLV community. Please RSVP using the RSVP form.
