The Excellence in Teaching Program

New LOA Handbook "Trailblazer" (.pdf)- Trailblazer is a guide to help you find your way through the maze of policies and procedures related to your work at the University of Nevada, Reno. Nothing can substitute for the experience you will gain in the classroom and laboratory, but we hope that this handbook will get you started in the right direction. We also hope that it will help you avoid some of the pitfalls that you might encounter during your first few months as an instructor.
