We organize a Rock and Mineral Sale each fall to raise funds for a WNC Geology Scholarship, and regularly host or attend speaker events at WNC or at nearby colleges and universities. Bring your rock hammer and hand lens and come join us!

Western Nevada Wildcat Vets

Advisor: Nigel Harrison Meetings: first Wednesday of the month | 4-5 pm | Cedar Building, Room 300

We have never forgotten one of the primary pillars that our service has taught us, leave no man behind, which is exemplified in our motto Veterans Helping Veterans. We have organized because we understand that a singular voice can be lost in the fray, but with our voices united we have the power to elicit change. We have gathered to foster the spirit of comradeship and cooperation among our fellow veterans and community.
