The Nevada Regents’ Award for Creative Activities is presented annually to two permanent full-time NSHE faculty members with distinguished records in creative activity. One award will be selected from nominations from UNLV, UNR, and NSU, and one award will be selected from nominations from CSN, GBC, TMCC, and WNC.

The award carries a $5,000 stipend. Faculty members who receive the Regents’ Award for Creative Activities may use the title as such in perpetuity.
