@unlvathletics announced @clarkcountysch days at @unlvwsoccer @unlvmenssoccer and @unlvvball! ⚽🏐
.
But first, a @rebel_soccer_foundation x @unlvcoealumni collab! 🎓
.
Please meet Haley Halbersma, a 2024 graduate from @unlvcoe’s Secondary Education program. Haley played defender for the UNLV Women’s Soccer team from 2020-2023. She currently serves as a math teacher at Desert Pines HS in Las Vegas. ➕➖✖️➗
.
❓What’s your favorite @unlv memory?
“My favorite UNLV memory was beating UNR at UNR for my last ever soccer game. Finishing my soccer career with a win over our rival was the perfect way to close out my time at UNLV.” ❤️🩶
.
❓Any words of advice to current UNLV COE students pursuing their degrees?
“As you enter the classroom, be prepared to constantly adjust your lesson, activity, or instruction. You are the expert of your students, so making adjustments for your students doesn't reflect bad planning, but instead reflects your ability to support each student. Mistakes and changes are what allow you to constantly improve your practice.” 🧑🏽‍🏫

🌟Alumni Spotlight🌟
.
Say hello to #unlvcoealumni, Dr. Adrian Huerta! Adrian earned his bachelor’s from @unlvcoe in 2007 in Human Services. He currently serves as Assc. Professor of Education and Population & Public Health Sciences at @uscedu.
.
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Adrian shared a bit about his culture and background with us.
.
❓How has your culture, family, or community influenced the educator or leader you are today?
“... I center the rich history of my family and community to positively influence how I act, lead, break down barriers, and pave pathways for others to succeed in higher education.”
.
❓What does the representation of Latino and Hispanic professionals in education mean to you?
“Currently, 1 in 3 Nevada residents are Latinos. So, having Latino educators showcasing a positive example to the next generation of K-12 and college students is important, not only for Latino students, but for all students, so they can change their views on who Latinos are, where Latinos work, and Latinos’ positive impact in classrooms, schools, and beyond. …”
.
❓Was there a person, organization, or experience at UNLV that helped you feel supported, connected, or represented?
“I would not be where I am without the support from many people and groups who helped me succeed: academic advisors, mentors, student orgs including MEChA de UNLV, @unlvcsun, @unlvbso, @shpedeunlv and faculty members. I found community; at one point, I felt lost and confused about where I was going for a while. But being active during my five years at UNLV helped me find my crew, and I still have relationships with them today.”
.
❓What is something about your heritage or community that you are especially proud to carry forward?
“I am proud of who I am and what I achieved, and my family’s legacy continues to guide my personal and professional decision-making. Now, as a father, I think about which values and lessons from my community I share with my children, the responsibility we carry to positively impact our community, and the importance of earning advanced degrees.”

To earn multiple college degrees shows perseverance and determination. To earn them at one university is remarkable. And yet, to earn them from the same college within that university is even more unique! 🦄 #rebelsforever
.
In this month’s ✨ Three Degrees from COE ✨ spotlight, we’re spotlighting 3x @unlvcoe alum, Dr. Marissa Nichols! Marissa serves as Senior Associate Athletics Director at @calathletics.
.
Marissa’s degrees:
🎓 2008 B.S. Human Services
🎓 2010 M.Ed. School Counseling
🎓 2017 Ph.D. Higher Education
.
Among her favorite @unlv memories? “I had the privilege of co-teaching an athletics administration graduate course alongside my mentor who opened this door for me, Dr. Nancy Lough—and learning research and statistics from the brilliant Dr. Alice Corkill--two women who shaped not just how I think, but who I am.” 🫱🏽‍🫲🏽
.
“A career highlight has been stepping into inaugural roles—positions where the blueprint didn't exist yet. Those experiences taught me something important about myself: I'm a builder. There's something deeply energizing about creating structure from scratch, earning trust, and watching a vision become a system that genuinely changes lives. That's the work that sticks with me.” 🔨
.
“My 'why' is rooted in a simple belief: when you develop the whole person, you unlock human potential and performance. I'm motivated by the opportunity to build systems that transform college sport from the inside—creating environments where student-athletes, coaches, and programs don't just succeed, but truly flourish.” 📈
