RENO, Nev. — University of Nevada, Reno Extension recently welcomed Sheila Bray to the extension office in Clark County as the community partnerships coordinator.

According to a recent press release from UNR, Bray will work alongside external entities to enhance the presence of Extension services in Clark County.
