📸 Step into the spirit of the American West at Western Nevada College’s Bristlecone Gallery.
A stunning exhibition of platinum prints by internationally acclaimed photographer Adam Jahiel is now on display through Sept. 9 on WNC’s Carson City campus.
Featuring selections from Jahiel’s powerful The Last Cowboy series, the exhibition captures the grit, beauty and traditions of ranching life across Nevada, Idaho and Oregon. From sweeping landscapes to intimate cowboy portraits, these remarkable images preserve a way of life deeply rooted in the Great Basin.
Jahiel’s work has been exhibited around the world and is included in prestigious collections such as the Nevada Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
The exhibition is made possible through a generous loan from the Armuth Hellwinkel Family Collection.
🎤 Don’t miss a special presentation about the exhibition on June 17 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at WNC.

A huge THANK YOU to Senator Jacky Rosen for visiting Western Nevada College’s Fallon campus today and touring the future home of WNC’s expanded rural nursing program. 🦺🏥

Thanks to Senator Rosen’s continued leadership and support for healthcare education, this transformational project is helping create more opportunities for students to train close to home and serve the communities that need them most.

WNC President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe, college leadership, faculty and community partners were proud to showcase the progress being made to strengthen Nevada’s rural healthcare workforce — one future nurse at a time.

Together, we’re building the future of healthcare in rural Nevada. 💙

💙 From setback to success. From self-doubt to serving others.
Guadalupe “Lupe” De Santiago once feared her dream of becoming a nurse was over after failing out of Western Nevada College’s Nursing program. Instead of giving up, she came back stronger. Last week, she graduated as a leader of WNC’s Nursing Class of 2026.
Lupe’s powerful story is one of resilience, compassion and determination. Despite long nights, self-doubt, carpooling from Fallon to clinicals in Reno and labs in Carson City, with the unwavering support of family, classmates and mentors, she never stopped believing in her purpose to care for others.
Now, she’s preparing to begin her nursing career and continue her education, proving that setbacks do not define us.
