“UNLV is a big part of my story. I didn’t graduate, leave Las Vegas, and build a career somewhere else. I chose to stay in Southern Nevada. Being able to return to UNLV to teach, mentor students, and stay involved in our local design community has given me a chance to show the next generation that great architecture with a national and international presence can come from right here in Las Vegas.”

The internationally recognized architect and UNLV College of Fine Arts Alumnus of the Year, Daniel Joseph Chenin, ‘02 ‘05, has built a practice inspired by Southern Nevada while mentoring the next generation of designers.
