It comes out every Tuesday afternoon, and employs more than 40 people, 25 full-time. Prior to 2004, the newspaper called itself simply the ''Sagebrush''. The newspaper was given an Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker Award for work completed during the 2007–2008, 2008–2009, 2011–2012 and most recently, 2014–15, school years.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://studentpress.org/acp/awards/2015-newspaper-pacemaker-2/|url-status=dead}}</ref> The newspaper won the Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker award in 2008 and 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://journalism.unr.edu/latestnews/app-news/0/185/nevada-sagebrush-nominated-for-pacemaker-award/|title=Nevada Sagebrush nominated for Pacemaker award|work=Reynolds School of Journalism|publisher=University of Nevada, Reno|access-date=August 14, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101007100530/http://journalism.unr.edu/latestnews/app-news/0/185/nevada-sagebrush-nominated-for-pacemaker-award/|archive-date=October 7, 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref> It was also a finalist for a Pacemaker at the 2006 and 2007 ACP student journalism awards. It has won the best of show award at the fall 2005, 2006 and 2007 ACP national conferences in its category (weekly broadsheet at a four-year university). It was also nominated for an online ACP Pacemaker in 2008. Its website, www.nevadasagebrush.com, which launched in the fall of 2007, has also been recognized by the Center for Innovation in College Media for it breaking news packages, podcasts, videos and general innovation and web presence. Many of The ''Nevada Sagebrush''{{'}}s former editors have gone on to work and take internships at newspapers and news organizations such as ''The Washington Post'', ''The Oregonian'', ''USA Today'', ''The Miami Herald'', ''The Arizona Republic'' and the Associated Press, as well as dozens of local newspapers around the country. ''Insight Magazine'' is the only student-run magazine at the University of Nevada. Formerly Nevada's yearbook for nearly 100 years, ''Insight Magazine'' has evolved into the second major publication circulating at the university. Its first edition was published in September 2008. It presents itself as a theme-based monthly magazine, providing photography, stories and graphics, in contrast to the weekly, newspaper-style of ''The Sagebrush''. It is put out both in print and online. The online version, UNRINSIGHT.com, provides both support for the published stories and independent content. In its sophomore year, ''Insight Magazine'' received national attention from major college media organizations, such as the Associated College Press and the College Media Advisers. ''Insight'' placed fifth for headline presentation in Best of Collegiate Design 2009 by the "College Media Advisers". At the 2009 ACP Conference in Austin, Texas, ''Insight'' placed fifth in Best of Show for an audio podcast. Nevada's literary arts journal ''Brushfire'' was created by a group of students in 1950. It is released once a semester and publishes original poetry, literature, and art by students and some faculty and community members. The university is also home to a student-run radio station, Wolf Pack Radio. The station broadcasts primarily through its website, although it comes through at 1700 AM. Starting in the fall 2010 semester, Nevada broadcast journalism students started "Wolf Pack Week," a 30-minute television newscast that is shown around campus. Future episodes will air on PBS in Reno and Las Vegas. There are other independent student publications on campus (although they have stopped publishing regularly since 2006), including ''The Nevada Blue'' and the ''Pack Patriot''. ==Greek life== {| |- | valign="top" | Interfraternity Council *[[Alpha Epsilon Pi]] (ΑΕΠ) *[[Alpha Sigma Phi]] (ΑΣΦ) *[[Alpha Tau Omega]] (ΑΤΩ) *[[Kappa Alpha Order]] (ΚΑ) *[[Kappa Sigma]] (ΚΣ) *[[Lambda Chi Alpha]] (ΛΧΑ) *[[Pi Kappa Phi]] (ΠΚΦ) *[[Sigma Phi Epsilon]] (ΣΦΕ) *[[Sigma Tau Gamma]] (ΣΤΓ) *[[Tau Kappa Epsilon]] (ΤΚΕ) *[[Theta Chi]] (ΘΧ) *[[Phi Delta Theta]] (ΦΔΘ) *[[Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia]] (ΦΜΑ) *[[Zeta Psi]] (ΖΨ) | | valign="top" | Panhellenic Council *[[Alpha Omicron Pi]] (ΑΟΠ) *[[Delta Delta Delta]] (ΔΔΔ) *[[Delta Gamma]] (ΔΓ) *[[Kappa Alpha Theta]] (ΚΑΘ) *[[Sigma Kappa]] (ΣΚ) *[[Pi Beta Phi]] (ΠΒΦ) | valign="top" | Multicultural Greek Council *[[Alpha Phi Gamma (sorority)|Alpha Phi Gamma]] (ΑΦΓ) *[[Delta Sigma Theta]] (ΔΣΘ) *[[Kappa Alpha Psi]] (ΚΑΨ) *[[Kappa Delta Chi]] (ΚΔΧ) *[[Kappa Phi Lambda]] (ΚΦΛ) *Lambda Theta Phi (ΛΘΦ) *[[Lambda Phi Xi]] (ΛΦΞ) *[[Lambda Psi Rho]] (ΛΨΡ) *[[Nu Alpha Kappa]] (ΝΑΚ) *[[Omega Delta Phi]] (ΩΔΦ) *[[Phi Beta Sigma]] (ΦΒΣ) *[[Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi]] (ΣΑΕΠ) *[[Sigma Omega Nu]] (ΣΩΝ) |- | | | | |} Professional fraternities *[[Alpha Kappa Psi]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.akpsi.org/news/25818/Psi-Phi-chapter-installs-at-University-of-Nevada---Reno.htm|title=Psi Phi chapter installs at University of Nevada – Reno – Alpha Kappa Psi|publisher=Akpsi.org|access-date=November 7, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720210443/http://www.akpsi.org/news/25818/Psi-Phi-chapter-installs-at-University-of-Nevada---Reno.htm|archive-date=July 20, 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> (ΑΚΨ) *[[Alpha Phi Omega]] (ΑΦΩ) *[[Delta Sigma Pi]] (ΔΣΠ) *[[Theta Tau]] (ΘΤ) *[[Phi Alpha Delta]] (ΦΑΔ) *[[Phi Delta Epsilon]] (ΦΔΕ) *[[Tau Beta Pi]] (ΤΒΠ) ==Notable alumni and faculty== {{Main|List of University of Nevada, Reno people}} ==Film history== The University of Nevada's classically styled campus has served as the setting for many movies, including:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.delamare.unr.edu/CampusOnAHill/|title=Campus on the Hill: A walking tour of the University of Nevada|publisher=Delamare.unr.edu|access-date=November 7, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100830040811/http://www.delamare.unr.edu/CampusOnAHill/|archive-date=August 30, 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref> *''[[Andy Hardy's Blonde Trouble]]'' (1944) *''[[Margie (1946 film)|Margie]]'' (1946) *''[[Apartment for Peggy]]'' (1948) *''[[Mother Is a Freshman]]'' (1949) *''[[Mr. Belvedere Goes to College]]'' (1949) *''[[5 Against the House]]'' (1955) *''[[Hilda Crane]]'' (1956) ==Notes== {{Notelist}} ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External links== {{NIE Poster|Nevada State University}} {{Portal|Nevada}} * {{Official website}} * [http://www.nevadawolfpack.com/ University of Nevada Athletics website] * {{HABS|survey=NV-18|id=nv0102|title=University of Nevada (Site Plan), Evans, Virginia & Ninth Street, Reno, Washoe County, NV|dwgs=1}} * {{HABS|survey=NV-18-A|id=nv0105|title=University of Nevada, Reno, Dairy Building, North of East Ninth Street, Reno, Washoe County, NV|photos=20|data=10|cap=2|link=no}} * {{Cite Collier's|wstitle=Nevada, University of|short=x}} {{University of Nevada}} {{Navboxes |titlestyle = {{CollegePrimaryStyle|Nevada Wolf Pack|color=white}} |list = {{Education in Washoe County, Nevada}} {{NevadaUC}} {{Mountain West Conference navbox}} }} {{Authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Nevada, Reno, University Of}} [[Category:University of Nevada, Reno| ]] [[Category:1874 establishments in Nevada]] [[Category:Buildings and structures in Reno, Nevada]] [[Category:Education in Washoe County, Nevada]] [[Category:Educational institutions established in 1874]] [[Category:Flagship universities in the United States]] [[Category:Historic American Buildings Survey in Nevada]] [[Category:Land-grant universities and colleges]] [[Category:Nevada System of Higher Education]] [[Category:Tourist attractions in Reno, Nevada]] [[Category:Universities and colleges accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities]] [[Category:Public universities and colleges in Nevada|University of Nevada, Reno]]'
