LAS VEGAS - The University of Nevada, Las Vegas has selected a new program officer to assist faculty, staff, and students in gaining access to the area’s public lands for organized UNLV activities. As the public land permits program officer, Cathy Willey will ensure that any university research, travel, field trips, or programs conducted on public lands meet federal regulations.
Willey will work closely with the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to assist with the issuance of public land permits to conduct activities on public lands in Nevada and contiguous states. Willey brings to the position nearly 20 years of administrative and accounting experience. Prior to joining UNLV, she worked in vendor services for the State of Nevada Controller’s Office. Willey has a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from California State University, Northridge.
The program officer coordinates applications with federal agencies; obtains permits for faculty, staff, and students; and assists with any required reports. The program officer works through the office of the Associate Vice President for Research and Community Outreach and is housed at the UNLV Public Lands Institute. The Public Land Permits Program was created by the offices of the Executive Vice President and Provost and the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies to provide a simple and effective way to ensure that UNLV-coordinated educational and recreational activities on public lands are conducted in a legal manner.
UNLV is a doctoral-degree-granting institution with more than 27,000 students and approximately 2,800 faculty and staff. More than 200 undergraduate, master’s and doctoral degrees are offered. Founded in 1957, UNLV is located on 337 acres in dynamic Southern Nevada.
