UNLV Executive MBA

???Heroic Service & Leadership in Action??? Meet?Christa Fells, a dedicated Clark County firefighter and UNLV Executive MBA student who is breaking barriers and making history. As one of just two African-American female firefighters in the department, she exemplifies courage, leadership, and service in every aspect of her life. Her impact goes far beyond her day-to-day duties. When faced with a fiery car accident, Christa’s quick thinking and selfless actions saved lives—an act of bravery that earned her the?Value Champion Award in September 2024. Christa’s story is a testament to the power of resilience, compassion, and the pursuit of excellence. The?EMBA experience?brings together professionals like Christa from diverse industries, fostering collaboration, learning, and transformation—driving personal growth and strengthening our community. ??

Earlier this week, we were proud to sponsor an event hosted by the @Vegas Chamber Executive Women's Council. Our director Nadine Bentis had the pleasure to attend?Setbacks & Comebacks?with Marion Jones, where she shared how to overcome obstacles and come back stronger. Uplifting and supporting the women in our community is always important—especially during Women’s History Month. Tell us about a woman who inspires you in honor of Women’s History Month!???

In December 2024, cohort 22 graduated and completed their 18 month journey. The month was filled with amazing memories from the international seminar, completing their consulting projects, and an amazing graduation ceremony and gala. Please welome cohort 22 to the EMBA alumni community. Congratulations on all of your accomplishments!

Day 1 of the EMBA international seminar was a success in Zurich, Switzerland! We met with the Ministry of Business and Economic Developent, ABB, and learned about the cypto landscape in Switzerland. It was a jam packed day, but a great way to start the buisnes visits!

We want to wish our veteran staff, alumni, and students a Happy Veterans day! Thank you for your service!

This week one of our amazing alum, Chelsey Bonilla from Cohort 16, shared her insights and experiences on how to effectively network and achieve success. Special thanks to Chelsey Bonilla for leading this session and thank you to current students and alum who participated in this incredible event!

The EMBA Program was proud to sponsor the Vegas Inc. Women Inspiring Nevada Awards. Congratulations to the ten honorees, who represent a growing and thriving network of accomplished women in Nevada. They uplift those around them while forging their own paths to success. A special shoutout to Tashina from Cohort 17, whom I met at the event!

As part of EMBA 716 International Business Cohort 22 visited Catholic Charities, the State Refugee Office in Nevada. Here they spoke and had presentation and tour with Immigration, Migration and Refugee Services staff and participated in a volunteer opportunity. Site visits are one way students can see what they are learning in action.
